Identity validation and verification system and associated methods

A computer implemented method for verifying and validating identity of a user for enrollment of the user in a secure personal dataset accessing system including a secure personal dataset, the computer implemented method comprising:

• electronically receiving a personal dataset including identifiable attributes of a user into a computer;
• using the computer, electronically verifying through an independent party authenticity of an asserted identity of the user including the identifiable attributes of the secure personal dataset;
• electronically verifying the personal dataset with a relying party that contributed to the secure personal dataset;
• capturing an inherent characteristic of the user on the computer for validating the identifiable attributes of the user, wherein the validating includes confirming the asserted identity matches the identifiable attributes;
• generating a digital security element resulting from the verifying and validating of the identifiable attributes;
• creating a registry having the identifiable attributes for the user stored within the registry;
• automatically assigning an identifier representing at least one of the identifiable attributes of the user and assigning a unique electronic address in the registry for the user using the computer;
• and
• transmitting the digital security element to the user from the computer, the digital security element enabled for granting electronic access to the personal dataset relating to the user, the personal dataset having been authenticated through the verifying and validating steps.
