Abstract

It is the principal object of the present invention to provide an improved identification method, which will facilitate the rapid and accurate identification of individuals. In addition, this allows sensitive locations to record and track service personnel that enter any secured area. The method incorporates the use of a identity verification company to store all vendor employee information for identification purposes. The identification required includes an identification card distributed by the identity verification company, a biometric scan, which can include a hand scan, retinal scan, voice recognition device or handwriting sample, and digitized picture identification.

Claims

1. A method for the security screening of service personnel, comprising;

The hiring of an identity verification company by client company to conduct identification verification of a specified vendor company, wherein;

said identity verification company obtains all pertinent information required to conduct a verification of said vendor company;

a determination by said identity verification company of the requirement for a background check of said vendor company is required for the verification process, based on the review of said information;

wherein said identity verification company obtains all pertinent vendor employee information from said vendor company; and

,

an employee tracking database is created, based on the information thus obtained by said identity verification company.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said vendor company is allowed a maximum of two opportunities to pass said background check.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein after said vendor company fails their first background check, the vendor company must remedy any discrepancies and resubmit for verification.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein after said vendor company fails their second background check, said identity verification Company will inform vendor of non-passage and deny access to identification cards until discrepancies are remedied.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said employee tracking database comprises a biometric, an identification number, and a picture identification for each employee.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein said biometric is selected from the group consisting of (voice recognition, hand scan, retinal scan, and handwriting verification).

8. A method for the security screening of service personnel, comprising;

Completion of enrollment by all vendor company personnel into the identity verification company'"'"'s employee tracking database;

A determination by an identity verification company of whether a background check of said vendor company employee is required in order to grant an identification card;

The recordation of said vendor employee'"'"'s identification information into said employee tracking database by said identity verification company; and

,

The querying of said identity verification Company'"'"'s employee tracking database to a specified client company via a network connection.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein said enrollment may be completed via the internet.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein said enrollment may be completed by attending an enrollment class.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein said vendor employee tracking database comprises a biometric, an identification number, and picture identification for each employee.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein said biometric is selected from the group consisting of (voice recognition, hand scan, retinal scan, and handwriting verification).

13. The method of claim 8, wherein said vendor employee is allowed a maximum of two opportunities to pass said background check.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein said employee can proceed with the verification process after passing said background check.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein after said vendor employee fails their first background check, the vendor employee must remedy any discrepancies and resubmit.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein after said vendor employee fails their second background check, said identity verification Company will inform said vendor employee of non-passage and deny access to identification cards until discrepancies are remedied.

17. A method for the security screening of an independent service provider, comprising;

the obtaining of all pertinent information required by a specified identity verification company to conduct a verification of said independent service provider;

the submission of a hand scan by said independent service provider for identification purposes with said identity verification company;

the processing of said information by conducting a background check on said independent service provider;

the recordation of said information into an employee tracking database by said identity verification company; and

the querying of said identity verification company'"'"'s employee tracking database to a specified client company via a network connection.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein said employee tracking database comprises a biometric, an identification number, and picture identification for each independent service provider.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein said biometric is selected from the group consisting of (voice recognition, hand scan, retinal scan, and handwriting verification).

20. The method of claim 17, wherein said independent service provider is allowed a maximum of two opportunities to pass said background check.

21. The method of claim 17, wherein said independent service provider can proceed with the verification process after passing said background check.

22. The method of claim 20, wherein after said independent service provider fails their first background check, the independent service provider must remedy any discrepancies and resubmit.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein after said independent service provider fails their second background check, said identity verification Company will inform said independent service provider of non-passage and deny access to identification cards until discrepancies are remedied.

24. A method for the security screening of service personnel, comprising;

The entry of vendor employee or independent service provider into a secured building of the client company;

The request by the client company that said vendor employee or independent service provider produce proper identification to enter said secured building.
