1. An identity verification system, the system including:

  • a personally-carried identity document, said document including an image of a rightful possessor of said document, a name of the rightful possessor, a date of birth of the rightful possessor, and an address of the rightful possessor;

    a data storage device included in said identity document, the storage device having stored thereon computer-readable representations of the image, name, date of birth, and address of the rightful possessor and a computer-readable representation of biometric information associated with the rightful possessor;

    an identity determination unit, said unit including an identity document reader, a biometric scanner, a display, a memory portion, a user input portion, and a transceiver portion; and

    a database system that includes a master database containing records of all rightful possessors of personally-carried identity documents and a biometric information database containing biometric information of all rightful possessors of personally-carried identity documents, the biometric database being associated with said master database;

    where the identity determination unit reads the data storage device with the identity document reader and copies the computer-readable representations from the data storage device to the memory portion;

    the biometric scanner performs a biometric scan of a current possessor of the identity document and compares a result of the biometric scan to the biometric information in the memory portion; and

    when the biometric scan comparison does not result in a match, the transceiver portion communicates the biometric scan data to the biometric database and receives a response from the master database that includes a record of the identity of the current possessor or a notification that the current possessor is not listed therein.
