Fingerprints can last for a long time depending on the surface and environmental conditions. On non-porous surfaces like glass or metal, they can remain intact for days or even weeks, while porous materials, like paper, may retain them for shorter periods. However, environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and exposure to contaminants can affect their longevity. In forensic contexts, latent fingerprints can sometimes be recovered even months after being left behind.
