Systems and methods for provisioning digital identities to authenticate users

A computer-implemented method for use in provisioning a digital identity for a user from an identification provider to a communication device, the method comprising:

• authenticating, by a communication device, a certificate provided from a card device, via a wireless connection with the card device;
• receiving, at the communication device, an authentication request from an identification provider;
• capturing, by an input device of the communication device, a first biometric associated with a user, the first biometric including at least an image of the user;
• after authenticating the certificate provided from the card device, transmitting, by the communication device, the authentication request and the first biometric to the card device, via the wireless connection;
• in response to the first biometric not being compared to a first reference biometric in the card device, capturing, by the communication device, an image associated with a physical document indicative of an identity of the user;
• comparing, by the communication device, the first biometric to the captured image associated with the physical document;
• and
• transmitting an indicator, received from the card device and representative of a second biometric comparison by the card device, to the identification provider in response to the first biometric and the captured image associated with the physical document matching, thereby permitting the identification provider to provision a digital identity to the communication device when the comparison of the first biometric and the captured image associated with the physical document indicate a match and the indicator from the card device associated with the second biometric comparison indicates a match between a second biometric captured at the card device and a second reference biometric stored at the card device.
