It's always POSSIBLE you could have the same fingerprint as someone else, but it's statistically IMPROBABLE. What's more likely is a close enough match that it takes many more points than normal to differentiate. But even then it's highly unlikely you would every encounter a situation where your fingerprint was confused with someone else. In fact, science has never found two finger prints that were exactly the same.

No you can not, although there are cases where identical twins have very similar fingerprints, but they do not match 100% to each other. The likely hood of this occurring is very slim. the only possilble way is if some one got a sample of yours and copyed it onto fake finger tips, but that would be a lot of work , and probably wouldnt happen.

It has never been proved that all fingerprints are different.
However, one 19th Century scientist calculated that the odds of two fingerprints being identical in all minutiae (ridge characteristics) were about one in 64 billion. So for all intents and purposes, I would say no, you won't find identical prints.

I think some families out their carry a genetic dna code, they have no fingerprints at all. Not sure whats it called. True story!
Your on the internet do a quick google search, zero fingerprint dna.

No, each fingerpriny is unique. Not even identical twins have the same fingerprints.

It is absolutely 100% impossible to have the same fingerprint as anyone else. But the patterns on your fingers (loop, arc or line) are the patterns everyone shares

"No two fingerprints have ever been found alike in many billions of human and automated computer comparisons. Fingerprints are the very basis for criminal history foundation at every police agency. "
i hope this helps dude.

Some identical twins have similar prints. In rare instances, have they been confused for one another, but as for exactly the same, probably never. There is always a very slim chance.

Your fingerprints are unique to you, like snow flakes. I am sure if you googled it you would find out some amazing things about this topic!

I don't think it's possible, not even in identical twins. I think there are still differences, even though the prints would be very much alike. Finger prints are like DNA.
