Fingerprints used to sign documents are type="biometric" or type="signed"? #3
As the title says: in some less-literate areas of the world, documets are authenticated using fingerprints in the place of signatures. Are these treated like the various special marks that may be used to sign things, or are they treated as biometrics, a separate category that arises from the authenticating element of biometric passports and identity cards (driver's licenses, etc.)?
