1. An identity verification system, the verification system comprising:

  • (a) entry means for receiving biometric data;

    (b) a data input device;

    (c) display means for displaying information to a user;

    (d) a communication control device remote from said entry means, data input device and display means, said communication control device having (i) receiving means for receiving a set of biometric data from the entry means and a set of input data from the data input device, (ii) a first conversion means for selectably capturing a portion of the set of biometric data received from the entry means and converting said portion of captured biometric data into a compressed digital file of the captured biometric data, (iii) a second conversion means for formatting the set of input data into a network protocol standard, (iv) transmitting means for transmitting data from the communication control device to the display means, and (v) connecting means for connecting the first conversion means to the entry means, the second conversion means to the data input device, the transmitting means to the display means, and the communication control device to a computer network;

    (e) at least one central processing unit remote from the communication control device and in direct communication with the communication control device having (i) an installed biometric recognition system, (ii) storage means for storing a set of digital biometric templates in a biometric database, (iii) searching means for searching the biometric database for a stored biometric template linked with an identifying parameter, (iv) first processor means for generating a test biometric template from the captured biometric data using the installed biometric recognition system, (v) second processor means for comparing the test biometric template with the stored biometric template using the installed biometric recognition to provide a validation signal when a correspondence between the test biometric template and the stored biometric template is detected.
