description This article studies the role of Juan Vucetich in the transnational emergence of biometric identification technologies in the early years of the 20th century. The analysis focuses on the influence outside Latinamerica of the fingerprint system created by Vucetich. In this sense, it explores the links between Argentina and Europe as part of a scientific and technological transatlantic dialogue. From the timid exchanges between Vucetich and Francis Galton at the start of the 1890s until the declaration of the superiority of his system as a method of identification of criminals by the Paris Academy in 1907, a complex web of connections was built, which brought together officials, experts and institutions from across the globe, and in which Vucetich and his system had a privileged position. The documentary sources of this investigation are composed of conference proceedings, journals, and Vucetich's personal and professional correspondence, which allows for a precise study of the ways of circulation of theories, technologies and identification practices of this period.
