US 8,572,711 B1 · Real identity verification

Abstract

A system for in-person identity verification comprises a computing device, an identity broker, a verifier system and a network. The user computing device sends a request for identity verification to the identity broker and it responds with a verification ticket including a unique identification number. The user presents the ticket to a clerk using the verifier system. The clerk inputs the unique identification number to the verifier system, the verifier system sends it to the identity broker and the identity broker sends user information that the verifier system presents to the clerk. The clerk compares the information to a photo government ID of the user and inputs whether the information presented by the user matches the information presented by the verifier, and whether the person is the person in the photo ID. Based on the clerk's input, the identity broker sends to the user computing device a message indicating whether the verification was confirmed or declined.
