Taña Dalglish Mar 30, 2013:
@ Filologo While I respect your choosing "Sistema AFIS" as your answer it is not correct, IMO. The glossary entry which has the purpose of serving other ProZ users is misleading.
NAFIS is the UK fingerprinting system (Britain), whereas AFIS is the US system.


NAFIS - National Automated Fingerprint Identification System
www.acronymfinder.com/National-Automated-Fingerprint-Identi... Finder: NAFIS stands for National Automated Fingerprint Identification System. ... National Association of Family Information Services (UK) · National ...

IMO, it should read:
Sistema Nacional Automatizado para la Identificación de Huellas Dactilares (NAFIS por sus siglas en inglés) and not NAFIS with a question mark (?) in the glossary, as this serves no purpose. The glossary, IMO needs to be amended. Thanks.
