Which system replaced IAFIS?

• A. NGI
• B. AFIS
• C. ILEEN
• D. NLETS

Answer: (A)

The system that replaced IAFIS is the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. IAFIS was the FBI’s fingerprint identification system, used to search and compare fingerprints across agencies. NGI took over and expanded biometric capabilities beyond fingerprints to include palm prints, iris scans, and facial recognition, with faster, more accurate matching and broader access for federal, state, and local agencies. This makes NGI the direct successor and upgrade to IAFIS. Other options refer to different concepts: AFIS is an older fingerprint-focused system, while NLETS and ILEEN are data-sharing networks, not biometric identification platforms.
