The invention provides a certificate card acquisition instrument. The certificate card acquisition instrument comprises a housing. The certificate card acquisition instrument is characterized in thatthe certificate card acquisition instrument further comprises an accommodating mechanism and an identification mechanism which are arranged in the housing; the identification mechanism is disposed atthe upper end of the housing; the accommodating mechanism is disposed at the lower end of the identification mechanism; the accommodating mechanism comprises a base, two light-transmitting side platesand a light-transmitting rear panel, wherein the base, the two light-transmitting side plates and the light-transmitting rear panel form a semi-closed accommodating cavity; the outer side of the accommodating cavity is provided with an illuminating mechanism; a clamping slot is formed in the base; the identification mechanism is provided with a camera; the camera is disposed above the clamping slot and is corresponding to the clamping slot; and therefore, light is uniform during certificate acquisition, the influence of external light can be decreased, and identification effectiveness can beimproved.
