Do finger prints grow back if they're worn off?
I had to get fingerprinted for my job as well as for school and clinicals over a year and a half ago. At that time, both the FBI as well as my place of employment had to take the "best out of 3" sets - taking each finger three separate times and using the best print possible. The FBI actually made me come back down again 2 weeks later to retry. They explained that they would match up my current prints (being taken that again that day) with the set they took 2 weeks prior to make sure all was the same and they would keep a record of them that was "built up" on top of each other by stacking the two sets of prints. I clean houses part time on the side and wasn't using gloves prior to this. After going through this and realizing my prints were unusable, I started wearing gloves to clean. As I said earlier, that was a year and a half ago. I had to redo my prints for an updated ID card at work today and guess what... still no prints. They had to make my ID with no prints this time. So, do they grow back? Maybe, but so far no luck with it personally. Hope that information helps.
Suggestions useful for fingerprinting DNA?

What is fingerprint?
A fingerprint is the mark that the ridges of your finger leave when applied to a surface. The easiest way to record your fingerprint is by applying ink to your finger and then pressing it firmly onto a paper surface. Many records of fingerprints now, however, are electronic, copying your fingerprint into a database for matching. People can also "dust" for fingerprints because of the oil on our hands. The oil will deposit in the shape of the ridges, and the dust will cling to the oil revealing the fingerprint.Fingerprints are used primarily for identification, because many experts agree that every person has a unique ridge pattern on the tips of their fingers. Thus, fingerprints are taken for security clearance, background checks and prison visits, and collected at crime scenes.Fingerprints can also be used in lieu of keys or codes for gaining access to private areas.

How do the police take fingerprints at the police station?
Depends on how advanced their systems are and why they are taking the prints. If you have been arrested the most advanced system is called "LiveScan". Using a scanner the prints are taken, one finger at a time, a set of finger together and often palm prints. The machine tells the person scanning if the print is good enough for comparison. They system automatically files the prints under the name and demographics listed on the arrest report. It sends the prints to the local, state and Federal AFIS for gross comparison. The AFIS spits out comparable prints for a technician to make a match, if any. If no machine the prints are taken on prints cards with inked fingers. Normally at lest 2 cards are taken, one for local check and one for Federal check. The local check can easily take a day or two. Teh Federal check can take weeks because of volume. If not an arrest situation where the subject needs the prints for a clearance check and such they make one or two cards with ink as needed. The subject then gives the prints to the potential employer or whoever for a check. Many private companies are authorized to take prints on a live scan system for clearance checks and they are hooked up directly to those systems.

Money was taken from your purse but the police did not look for prints on it will the finger prints on your purse fade if they do decide to come back and look for prints on it?
They might or might not fade, but more likely they would be smeared if you are using the purse. The police could have figured the thief only touched the clasp of your purse and not the sides where it would show fingerprints. Or your purse could be made of a material that doesn't produce usable fingerprints. Sometimes the amount of money involved is small and the police just take a statement without doing a lot of investigating.
