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.
1950年首次有人提出利用唇纹进行身份识别，20世纪60年代和70年代初对唇纹展开了研究，最近几年又重新开始。尽管唇纹识别已在个别案件中被用于法庭，但在这一领域仍需开展更多研究，以确认其独特性以及证据的收集和解读。唇纹识别必须作为基于科学证据的方法才能被法庭接受。
