The first place to look to see if the driver for MFS100 Fingerprint Sensor was actually installed is the the Device Manager. Press Windows Key + R and type devmgmt.msc. There shouldn't be anything marked with a yellow or red sign. If there is something with yellow, it means the driver didn't succeed installing properly and you should try again, but this time use the correct one.


Also, it might be possible that the driver you are trying to install is not compatible with the operating system that's currently running on your PC.

In CSC Jeevan Pramaan Patra there is an error with the fingerprint scanner.

Answer by Sean Hill

The fingerprint requires the necessary driver to be installed on the PC where Jeevan Pramaan is installed as well. Also, it seems that for version 3 of the software, certain requirements are in place. For example, this is what I've extracted from the official website:


"You can use existing device by upgrading it to a Registered Device. For this you need RD service which is provided by device-manufacturer."

How can I install MFS100 driver on a Windows 7 PC?

Answer by Stephen Prastman

In order to install the driver on your PC, the first thing that you want to do is to go to the sensor's webpage and download it on your computer. (Just type in the captcha code and you'll be taken to the actual download.)


Once that's done, run the executable file and follow the steps in the installer to complete the process.


Finally, after the setup process is finished, press Win + R on your keyboard, then in the Run box that pops up, type "services.msc" (without quotes) and click on OK. A new window window will open up showing you all the services that are running on your operating system. Scroll down until you see an entry called MFS100 Client Service and make sure that it says Running next to it. If it doesn't, right-click the entry and select Start. Reboot your PC and you should be good to go.

I receive this error: "1309 ErrorDescription: MFS100 not initialized"

Answer by Robert Polubinski

There could be a couple of causes to this error, but the most common ones are:

  1. The operating system where the driver is installed lacks compatibility with the device and driver. You need a new driver, but unfortunately, there is only one on the developer's website.

  2. You don't have any driver installed on your computer, and I recommend downloading one from the link below.

Answer by Julia Bocchetta

First you need to connect the fingerprint scanner to your computer and then use the Device Manager to manually install the driver. If the package is already installed and there's a yellow item in Device manager, right click and select Update Driver. Follow the on-screen steps and complete the installation steps. Perform a reboot and you will be able to use the scanner.

What's the reason for reoccurring errors related to the MFS100 Fingerprint Sensor? Please give me a solution.

Stephen Prastman
Answer by Stephen Prastman

There are several different problems that could cause reoccurring errors with the MFS100 Fingerprint Sensor. Knowing the error's message or its number is usually very useful in determining the cause, but here are the most common two reasons:

  • You didn't install the driver, in which case you will need to go the device's driver webpage, then download it from there and install it on your PC.
  • The driver you have is incompatible with the Windows version that you're currently using. Unfortunately, I could only find one driver for the MS100 Fingerprint Sensor which means that you're pretty much out of options.

Answer by Sean Hill

These fingerprint devices and drivers are primary used on Windows PCs. You can't just use a fingerprint sensor on your mobile device unless that mobile is already equipped with one (eg. iPhone 6, HTC Max, etc).


This driver is installed on Windows PCs and compatible only with Windows PCs and works with devices attached to PC.
