an authentication unit for subjecting the user to biological authentication on the basis of the first biological information and the second biological information; a registration unit for registering the information pertaining to the user which was authenticated by the biological authentication; and a service provision unit which provides a service to the user according to a request from the user terminal when information pertaining to the user is registered. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing system comprising: one or more memories storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to: acquire first biometric information about a living body of a user during an authentication process, the first biometric information being read by a user terminal, the user terminal equipped with certificate information about a public certificate of the user; acquire second biometric information about a living body of the user during the authentication process, the second biometric information included in the certificate information stored in the user terminal; perform biometric authentication on the user based on the first biometric information and the second biometric information acquired from the user terminal; execute the instructions to register the first biometric information as registration biometric information in a case where the user is authenticated by the biometric authentication; register information about the user authenticated by the biometric authentication; and provide a service to the user in response to a request from the user terminal in a case where the information about the user is registered. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to acquire the second biometric information in a case where a password input by the user matches preset setting information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to: perform an empty settlement related to an order in a case where there is a request for the order from the user terminal; and complete a settlement related to the order in a case where there is a settlement request from the user terminal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to: register information about the user of the user on which the biometric authentication has not been performed, wherein the information about the user includes an authentication level indicating a type of authentication performed on the user, and wherein set the service providable to the user according to the authentication level of the user. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to: perform the biometric authentication based on the registration biometric information and third biometric information that is information about a living body of the user, the third biometric information being read when there is a request from the user terminal; and provide the service in response to a request from the user terminal in a case where the user is authenticated. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to provide the service to the user and another user in a case where the request from the user terminal includes information about the another user different from the user. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the public certificate is a My Number Card, and wherein the certificate information is an electronic certificate indicating validity of the My Number Card. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the biometric authentication is performed within the user terminal. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the biometric authentication is performed using only the user terminal without requiring external server processing. ### Claim 10 An information processing method comprising: acquiring first biometric information about a living body of a user during an authentication process, the biometric information being read by a user terminal, the user terminal equipped with certificate information about a public certificate of the user; acquiring second biometric information about a living body of the user during the authentication process, the second biometric information included in the certificate information stored in the user terminal; performing biometric authentication on the user based on the first biometric information and the second biometric information acquired from the user terminal; executing the instructions to register the first biometric information as registration biometric information in a case where the user is authenticated by the biometric authentication; registering information about the user authenticated by the biometric authentication; and providing a service to the user in response to a request from the user terminal in a case where the information about the user is registered. ### Claim 11 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute: acquiring first biometric information about a living body of a user during an authentication process, the first biometric information being read by a user terminal, the user terminal equipped with certificate information about public certificate of the user; acquiring second biometric information about a living body of the user during the authentication process, the second biometric information included in the certificate information stored in the user terminal; performing biometric authentication on the user based on the first biometric information and the second biometric information acquired from the user terminal; executing the instructions to register the first biometric information as registration biometric information in a case where the user is authenticated by the biometric authentication; registering information about the user authenticated by the biometric authentication; and providing a service to the user in response toa request from the user terminal in a case where the information about the user is registered.
