System and Method for Identity Verification of a User

A method for the verification of identity for restricted item comprising:

• receiving first user information, wherein the first user information comprises uniquely identifying information corresponding to a first user,
• retrieving, from a third party system, confirmation information based on the first user information that the first user is eligible to receive a restricted item;
• generating a temporary quick response (QR) code based identifier corresponding to the first user information and the restricted item, and assign the temporary QR code to a second user in response to an electronic request from the first user, wherein the temporary QR code has an expiration date;
• associating second user information with the temporary QR code in response to receipt of the second user information from the second user;
• receiving, at the electronic terminal, the QR code and the second user information from the second user, wherein the second user information is correlated to the first user information via the temporary QR code;
• validating the first user information corresponding to the temporary QR code with the second user information, the second user information confirming the first user information;
• evaluating the QR code expiration date against a current date;
• allowing, responsive to the evaluation of the QR expiration date and validation of the first user information, a transaction for the restricted item to complete;
• and
• alerting, responsive to the allowing of the transaction at the electronic terminal, the first user of an expiration status of the temporary QR code based on the first user information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, having stored thereon, instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receive a first user information, wherein the first user information comprises uniquely identifying information corresponding to a first user,
• retrieve, from a third party system, confirmation information based on the first user information that the first user is eligible to purchase a restricted item;
• generate a quick response (QR) code based identifier corresponding to the first user information, wherein the QR code has an expiration date;
• receive, from the point of sale terminal, the QR code and a second user information wherein the second user information correlates with the first user information;
• validate the first user information corresponding to the received QR code with the second user information where the second user information confirms the first user information;
• evaluate the QR code expiration date against a current date;
• allow, responsive to the evaluation of the QR expiration date, a transaction for the restricted item to complete;
• and
• alert, responsive to the allowing of the transaction at the point of sale terminal, the user of an expiration status of the QR code based on the first user information.
