Abstract: The use of lip prints for human identification was first suggested in 1950 and research was carried out on lip prints in the 1960s and early 1970s, resuming in the last few years. Although lip print identification has been utilized in court in isolated cases more research needs to be conducted in this field with regard to confirmation of uniqueness, and the collection and interpretation of evidence. Lip print identification needs to be acceptable in court as scientifically evidence based.
