A high-accuracy matching result is obtained when a condition of a photographed input image differs from a condition of a photographed registration image. A face matching device including the registration face image, in which a person is photographed, and a photographing condition which corresponds to the registration face image are registered in a registration face image database. The face matching device includes a condition detecting unit, a registration face image selecting unit, and a matching unit. The condition detecting unit detects a photographing condition in the input face image which includes the photographed person. The registration face image selecting unit determines and selects the closest of the photographing condition from the input face image with the photographing conditions of the registration face images based on the determined closeness of the photographing condition. The matching unit performs matching using the registration face image corresponding to the selected photographing condition.
