The study dealt with the legal organization of fingerprints in Sudanese legislation.

The problem of the study was that although the fingerprint was taken as evidence, the Sudanese legislator did not address it in detail, which entails risks to the rights and privacy of individuals.

The importance of the study stems from the fact that the fingerprint was able to obtain physical evidence based on established scientific grounds, whether it is technical evidence or evidence relied upon by investigators to identify criminals, and uncover the vagueness of the most complex crimes.

The study aimed to identify the legal organization of the fingerprint in the Sudanese law, to clarify the controls and cases of fingerprinting, to highlight the role of fingerprint in detecting crime and criminals, to clarify the fingerprint provisions in the Sudanese law of proof, the legal and legal adaptations of fingerprints and judicial applications.

The study followed the descriptive analytical method.

The study concluded that the fingerprint is a strong evidence of identity and identity verification because it has more legislative and physiological advantages than other fingerprints.

That the Sudanese legislator took fingerprint in the criminal evidence as evidence of innocence and conviction, and that the impact of the fingerprint contains the characteristics required to identify and prove the identity of the perpetrators of the crimes of those found to have traces of their fingerprints at the scene of the crime.

The study presented several recommendations, the most important of which are: The need to issue special laws that include the conditions for resorting to fingerprinting, procedures and protection.

The need to take expert opinion in cases that are based on experience and which the judge can not access, the need to establish a national DNA database to benefit from the detection of the perpetrators.

The study suggested that more scientific studies should be carried out to benefit from the fingerprint due to its anatomical and physiological advantages beyond the other fingerprints.
