A fingerprint recognition apparatus and a method thereof of acquiring fingerprint data are provided. The fingerprint recognition apparatus acquires a user's fingerprint image through a fingerprint sensor, extracts information regarding a fingerprint size, a fingerprint position, a degree of fingerprint contact and a condition of minutiae points, and displays a corresponding error message and guide information through a display unit to encourage a reinput of fingerprint, if determining that the extracted information is not within a predetermined range. As a result, the user is encouraged to input a best quality fingerprint to allow extraction of good print data for either fingerprint enrollment or authentication. The information provided to the user may practically include detailed error and guide information regarding the fingerprint size, a degree with which a fingerprint is pushed to a certain side, a degree of contact or humidity of a fingerprint.
