Systems and methods for identity verification
First Claim
1. A method for verifying the identity of an individual by invoking the services of at least one databroker, each databroker having the capability of verifying at least one piece of identifying information associated with an individual, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing at least one predetermined level of verification, each predetermined level of verification requiring the verification of at least one piece of identifying information by at least one databroker, wherein a predetermined level of verification is achieved when each piece of required identifying information is verified;
creating a composite set of solutions for achieving each predetermined level of verification, each of the solutions being associated with at least one databroker;
receiving a request to verify the identity of an individual at a predetermined level of verification;
choosing a solution from the composite set of solutions for the requested predetermined level of verification; and
requesting, from the at least one databroker associated with the chosen solution, verification of at least one piece of identifying information associated with the requested predetermined level of verification.

Abstract
The present invention may include systems and a methods for verifying the identity of an individual by invoking the services of at least one databroker. The present invention may establish a predetermined identity verification level and, based on the capabilities of associated databrokers, may establish a number of different solutions for verifying an individual'"'"'s identity to the predetermined level. When a request for identity verification is received, the present invention may examine the possible solutions for the requested verification level and, by invoking the services of one or more databrokers, may attempt to verify the individual'"'"'s identity.

19. A processor-based system for verifying the identity of an individual, the system being connected over a network to at least one databroker having the capability of verifying at least one piece of identifying information associated with an individual, the system comprising:
-
a memory, the memory being stored with; at least one predetermined level of verification, each predetermined level of verification requiring the verification of at least one piece of identifying information by at least one databroker, wherein a predetermined level of verification is achieved when each piece of required identifying information is verified; a composite set of solutions for achieving each predetermined level of verification, each of the solutions being associated with at least one databroker; and processor-readable software code configured to enable the processor-based system to execute an identity verification process; a processor, the processor being configured to execute the identity verification process, wherein the identity verification process includes the steps of; receiving a request to verify the identity of an individual at a predetermined level of verification; choosing a solution from the composite set of solutions for the requested predetermined level of verification; and requesting, from the at least one databroker associated with the chosen solution, verification of at least one piece of identifying information associated with the requested predetermined level of verification. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
