Provided are a rolled fingerprint acquisition apparatus and method for accurately registering and synthesizing fingerprints. The rolled fingerprint acquisition apparatus selects a reference frame from among rolled fingerprint frames that are sequentially acquired, calculates the central locations of fingerprints included in the rolled fingerprint frames, sets an order in which the reference frame and rolled fingerprint frames are performed based on the central locations of the fingerprints, and registers and synthesizes the reference frame with the rolled fingerprint frames according to the set order.
