• said method and system comprising:
• a host computer server, a multi-point and multi-media video conference system (including fixed and portable structures), an electronic signature capture device, an electronic document, an electronic document repository, a digital certificate, an electronic notary seal device, a biometric data capture device, and a video verification service center (VVSC);
• said method and system comprising the steps of:
• said VVSC establishing connectivity between geographically remote parties;
• said connectivity comprising a videoconference that broadcasts electronic data between said parties using said multi-point and multi-media video conference system;
• said parties viewing one another from said multi-point and multi-media video conference system;
• said VVSC downloading said electronic document from said host computer server;
• said parties viewing the same said electronic document from said multi-point and multi-media video conference system;
• said parties inputting an electronic signature using said electronic signature capture device;
• said host computer server affixing said electronic signature to said electronic document;
• said parties inputting biometric data using said electronic biometric data capture device;
• said host computer server affixing said biometric data to said electronic document;
• said parties inputting said digital certificate;
• said host computer server affixing said digital certificate to said electronic document;
• said host computer server encrypting said electronic document;
• said host computer server uploading said electronic document to said host computer server or to a remote server of said parties;
• said host computer server creating an identity-based document with said electronic document;
• and
• said host computer server disseminating said identity-based document to authorized said parties.
