A computer-readable medium encoded with a program for verifying information, said program comprising:

• receiving a government identification number sent by a remote user via a user information vehicle to a local analyzer, the remote user being interested in obtaining services or products, the government identification number containing decipherable information regarding the identity of the remote user;
• analyzing the government identification number including,
• determining the issuing jurisdiction of the government identification number,
• applying an issuing jurisdiction algorithm to the government identification number to decipher information from the government identification number, and
• verifying the validity of the government identification number;
• and
• notifying the remote user of the results of the verification of the government identification number and permitting or denying access to the remote user for the remote user-desired services or goods.

A method of verifying information comprising:

• receiving user-supplied information from a user interested in obtaining services or products, the user-supplied information including:
• a user government identification number containing decipherable information regarding the identity of the user, and
• additional user identifying information;
• analyzing the government identification number including,
• determining the issuing jurisdiction of the government identification number,
• deciphering information from the government identification number, and
• verifying the validity of the government identification number;
• retrieving confirming-information from a database relevant to the user-supplied information;
• comparing the confirming-information to the user-supplied information to verify the accuracy of the user-supplied information;
• and
• permitting or denying access to the user for the user-desired services or goods.
