An apparatus for obtaining biometric information of driver is provided. The apparatus includes a first biometric-signal-sensing unit that is installed in the steering wheel of an automobile and senses a driver's biometric signal therefrom. Additionally, a second biometric-signal-sensing unit is installed in the driver's seat of the automobile and also simultaneously senses a driver's biometric signal. As a means of control, a controller obtains biometric information selectively using biometric signals which satisfy a preset condition in obtaining biometric information based on biometric signals sensed by the first biometric-signal-sensing unit and biometric signals sensed by the second biometric-signal-sensing unit.
