The invention provides a personal identification device and a finger vein identification device, through which light can be emitted to optimal positions of living bodies with different sizes and images suitable for identification can be captured. The personal identification device comprises a finger placing stand (5) provided with an opening portion (20) in a carrying surface used for carrying fingers, a plurality of light sources (50) arranged in the long side direction of the fingers and illuminating the fingers slantwise, a shooting part (4) disposed in a shell and used for shooting the light which is transmitted by the fingers and comes from the light sources via the opening portion (20), and an identification processing part (10) used for comparing the features extracted from vein images of the fingers obtained from the shooting part and the living body information stored in advance. A light blocking part (22) used for blocking the light from the plurality of light sources (50) are arranged on the same plane as the carrying surface. The distances between the light sources (50) and the light blocking part (22) are different.
