<BIOMETRIC_VERIFICATION xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  </RESPONSE_DATA>

</BIOMETRIC_VERIFICATION></VerifyFingerPrintsResult></VerifyFingerPrintsResponse></s:Body></s:Envelope>

inner text :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

First, you need classes to store the Xml data. I find Xml2CSharp.com[^] helps. Generates the following classes from your Xml data:

C#

using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Xml2CSharp
{
	[XmlRoot(ElementName="RESPONSE_STATUS")]
	public class RESPONSE_STATUS {
		[XmlElement(ElementName="CODE")]
		public string CODE { get; set; }
		[XmlElement(ElementName="MESSAGE")]
		public string MESSAGE { get; set; }
	}

	[XmlRoot(ElementName="RESPONSE_DATA")]
	public class RESPONSE_DATA {
		[XmlElement(ElementName="RESPONSE_STATUS")]
		public RESPONSE_STATUS RESPONSE_STATUS { get; set; }
		[XmlElement(ElementName="SESSION_ID")]
		public string SESSION_ID { get; set; }
		[XmlElement(ElementName="CITIZEN_NUMBER")]
		public string CITIZEN_NUMBER { get; set; }
	}

	[XmlRoot(ElementName="BIOMETRIC_VERIFICATION")]
	public class BIOMETRIC_VERIFICATION {
		[XmlElement(ElementName="RESPONSE_DATA")]
		public RESPONSE_DATA RESPONSE_DATA { get; set; }
		[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="xsi", Namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")]
		public string Xsi { get; set; }
		[XmlAttribute(AttributeName="xsd", Namespace="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")]
		public string Xsd { get; set; }
	}

}

Next is to map the classes to the Xml data:

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace Xml2CSharp
{
    public static class XmlConverter
    {
        public static T ToClass<T>(string data)
        {
            var response = default(T);

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(data))
            {
                var settings = new XmlReaderSettings() { IgnoreWhitespace = true };
                var serializer = XmlSerializerFactoryNoThrow.Create(typeof(T));
                var reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(data), settings);
                response = (T)Convert.ChangeType(serializer.Deserialize(reader), typeof(T));
            }
            return response;
        }
    }

    // ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1127431/xmlserializer-giving-filenotfoundexception-at-constructor/39642834#39642834
    public static class XmlSerializerFactoryNoThrow
    {
        public static Dictionary<Type, XmlSerializer> cache = new Dictionary<Type, XmlSerializer>();

        private static object SyncRootCache = new object();

        public static XmlSerializer Create(Type type)
        {
            XmlSerializer serializer;

            lock (SyncRootCache)
                if (cache.TryGetValue(type, out serializer))
                    return serializer;

            lock (type) //multiple variable of type of one type is same instance
            {
                //constructor XmlSerializer.FromTypes does not throw the first chance exception           
                serializer = XmlSerializer.FromTypes(new[] { type })[0];
                //serializer = XmlSerializerFactoryNoThrow.Create(type);
            }

            lock (SyncRootCache) cache[type] = serializer;
            return serializer;
        }
    }
}

To Use:

C#

var data = XmlConverter.ToClass<BIOMETRIC_VERIFICATION>(xml);

Note: I have not run this code but should work.
