1. An imaging apparatus for authentication comprising:
a first imaging unit that obtains a first image used in a first authentication process by imaging a target person;
a second imaging unit that obtains a second image used in a second image process by imaging the target person in an imaging range narrower than that of the first imaging unit,
wherein the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit are disposed inside a housing;
a drive unit that integrally drives the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit to rotate around a central axis of the housing as an axis of rotation;
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor that is configured to execute instructions to control the drive unit on the basis of the first image.
