Is it true that identical twins have different fingerprints?
Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed and reference sources state that fingerprints are unique to each individual and that identical twins have different fingerprints, including a study of fingerprint patterns and forensic reviews. Some twin-fingerprint recognition studies support this only indirectly by showing systems can distinguish twins.
