First Claim
1. In a certificate issuing system comprising:
- a print terminal having print means for printing certificate data on a print form, microchip reading means for reading microchip ID in a microchip attached to said print form, input means for inputting personal certification ID, and print terminal communication means; and
a certificate issuer system having certificate issuer communication means for performing communication with said print terminal, certificate storage means for storing said certificate data, and issue management storage means for storing certificate issue management data, a certificate issuing method comprising the steps of;
sending said personal certification ID and said microchip ID to said certificate issuer system from said print terminal through said print terminal communication means, reading said certificate data in association with said personal certification ID from said certificate storage means of said certificate issuer system, storing said microchip ID and said certificate data to be issued in association with said issue management storage means of said certificate issuer system after said microchip ID is received at said certificate issuer system through said certificate issuer communication means, sending said read certificate data through said certificate issuer communication means to said print terminal, and printing said certificate data on said print form having said microchip attached thereto, after said certificate data is received at said print terminal through said print terminal communication means, said microchip having said read microchip ID.

Abstract
When a certificate is to be printed on a certificate form having a microchip built therein, an applicant for applying for the certificate sends microchip ID to a certificate issuer, and the certificate issuer stores certificate data in association with the microchip ID in an issue management database of the certificate issuer. When the certificate is to be verified, a certificate verifier sends the microchip ID built in the certificate to the certificate issuer, and in response to it, the certificate issuer sends the certificate data, which is registered in the certificate database in association with the microchip ID, to the certificate verifier. Certificate can be printed out by a print terminal at home or the like.
