Method and system for identity and age verification

A computer-implemented method for verifying identity information, the method comprising the steps of:

• electronically scanning, by a data capture unit of an electronic device, first data and second data corresponding to a respective first and second location of an identity document indicative of an individual;
• performing, by a computing authentication unit, a first verification comprising comparing the first data of the first location to the second data of the second location to verify whether the first data matches the second data, the computing authentication unit coupled to a non-transitory memory storing an application for execution by the computing authentication unit;
• performing, by the computing authentication unit, a second verification, when it is verified that the first data matches the second data, the second verification comprising comparing aggregated data from both the first data and the second data to identity data in one or more identity databases to verify personal identity information of the individual indicated in the identity document;
• and
• causing, by the computing authentication unit, the electronic device to indicate a result of at least one of the first verification or the second verification.

A non-transitory computer readable medium programmed to include computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform functions including:

• electronically scanning, by a data capture unit, first data and second data corresponding to a respective first location and a second location of an identity document indicative of an individual;
• performing a first verification comprising comparing the first data of the first location to the second data of the second location to verify whether the first data matches the second data;
• performing a second verification when it is verified that the first data matches the second data, the second verification comprising comparing aggregated data from both the first data and the second data to identity data in one or more identity databases to verify personal identity information of the individual indicated in the identity document;
• and
• indicating, on an input/output interface, a result of at least one of the first verification or the second verification.
