What's the difference between signing a signature and pressing a fingerprint?
1, uniqueness. Signature is not unique, because someone may have other people's names besides the legal name on the ID card, such as nickname, real name, alias, former name, pseudonym and so on. From a legal point of view, the use of names other than legal names may cause controversy, and it is necessary to further prove that names are equivalent to actors. Handprints are unique, for example, the right hand has only one thumb;
2. Writing is different. The name requires at least one's own name, but it does not rule out the existence of not writing a name; It is true that everyone can press their fingerprints, as long as they have fingers;
3. The requirements are different. The signature should be legible. Do not use pencils, pens that can be easily altered, watercolor pens and other soft-headed pens. These pens can't reflect the writer's brushwork and fine brushwork habits, so they can't be identified in handwriting identification.
