## Abstract

A method for sharing verification information is disclosed. The method is performed at one or more electronic devices. Verification information corroborating the identity information of a first user is obtained. A first device facilitates storing the verification information in one or more encrypted containers. A request for at least a part of the verification information corroborating the identity information of the first user is received from a second device that is distinct from the first device and a client device of the user. The request for authorization to release the requested part of the verification information is sent to the client device. In response to receiving authorization from the client device to release the requested part of the verification information, the requested part of the verification information is sent to the third party.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for sharing verification information, comprising:
at one or more devices with one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors:
obtaining verification information corroborating identity information of a first user;
facilitating storing, at a first device of the one or more devices, the verification information corresponding to the identity information of the first user, wherein the verification information is stored in one or more encrypted containers;
receiving, from a second device of a third party that is distinct from the first device and a client device of the first user, a request for at least a part of the verification information corroborating the identity information of the first user;
sending a request to the client device requesting authorization to release the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party;
receiving, from the client device, authorization to release the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party; and
in response to receiving the authorization, facilitating sending of the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein obtaining the verification information includes receiving verification information from a client device of a second user that is distinct from the client device of the first user.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the verification information includes a first verification rating for the first user.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein:
obtaining the verification information includes receiving, from the client device of the first user, a verification document for corroborating the identity information of the first user; and
the first verification rating is calculated based on at least one verification test applied to the verification document.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the first verification rating of the first user is adjusted based on verification information received from the second user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein a degree of the adjustment to the first verification rating of the first user based on the verification information received from the second user corresponds to a second verification rating of the second user.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein a degree of the adjustment to the first verification rating of the first user based on the verification information received from the second user corresponds to a corroboration history of the second user.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, including changing a status of the second user based on a determination corresponding to an account of the first user.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein changing the status of the second user includes reducing a second verification rating of the second user.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8, wherein changing the determination corresponding to the account of the first user includes a determination that the account of the first user is falsified or fraudulent.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the verification information is independent of a calculated verification rating for the first user.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the authorization to release the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information includes an approval for releasing a portion, less than all, of the requested part of the identity information.

### Claim 13

An electronic device, comprising:
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
obtaining verification information corroborating identity information of a first user;
facilitating storing, at a first device of one or more devices, the verification information corresponding to the identity information of the first user, wherein the verification information is stored in one or more encrypted containers;
receiving, from a second device of a third party that is distinct from the first device and a client device of the first user, a request for at least a part of the verification information corroborating the identity information of the first user;
sending a request to the client device requesting authorization to release the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party;
receiving, from the client device, authorization to release the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party; and
in response to receiving the authorization, facilitating sending of the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party.

### Claim 14

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display, cause the electronic device to:
obtain verification information corroborating identity information of a first user;
facilitate storing, at a first device of one or more devices, the verification information corresponding to the identity information of the first user, wherein the verification information is stored in one or more encrypted containers;
receive, from a second device of a third party that is distinct from the first device and a client device of the first user, a request for at least a part of the verification information corroborating the identity information of the first user;
send a request to the client device requesting authorization to release the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party;
receive, from the client device, authorization to release the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party; and
in response to receiving the authorization, facilitate sending of the requested part of the verification information corroborating the identity information to the third party.
