19. A biometrics authentication device in an automatic transaction device, which detects biometrics characteristic data from a human body, verifies said biometrics characteristic data against biometrics characteristic data registered in advance in an IC card, and performs individual authentication, comprising:
a detection unit, which detects biometrics characteristic data from said human body;
an IC card reader/writer, which reads information from an IC card of a principal and writes information into said IC card; and
a verification unit, which verifies said detected biometrics characteristic data against the biometrics characteristic data of said principal, registered in advance in said IC card and read from said IC card via the IC card reader/writer,
wherein said verification unit, when said verification result is satisfactory, detects the biometrics characteristic data from a body other than that of the principal and registers the biometrics characteristic data for an authorized agent other than said principal in said IC card via the IC card reader/writer, and at the time of individual authentication for operating said automatic transaction device, detects the biometrics characteristic data from the human body, and verifies said detected biometrics characteristic data against the biometrics characteristic data of the principal or of the authorized agent, registered in advance in said IC card.
