1. An information processing system comprising:
an image processing apparatus including first circuitry configured to
read an application form with a scanner to generate image data,
acquire electronic watermark data from the image data,
acquire, from an integrated circuit card, first identification information of the integrated circuit card, and
create application data based on the application form; and

an information processing apparatus including second circuitry configured to communicate with the image processing apparatus via a network, and
perform user authentication based on the first identification information of the integrated circuit card acquired from the integrated circuit card and second identification information of the integrated circuit card previously associated with identification information of the application form,

the first circuitry of the image processing apparatus stopping creating the application data when the user authentication fails.
