1. A method for efficient exception handling of the production process of personal identification verification (PIV) smartcards, comprising:
- receiving an applicant legend from a PIV sponsor;
checking the applicant a legend submitted by a PIV sponsor;
collecting source identity documents and biometrics of the applicant;
verifying the authenticity of the source identity documents and biometrics of the applicant prior to issuing a PIV smartcard at least once through a PIV registrar and at least once through a central security clearance;
checking the biometrics by conducting a criminal background check on the applicant prior to issuing a PIV smartcard;
inputting the legend, the source identity documents, the biometrics, and security and clearance approvals into an identity management (IDM) system;
printing and issuing a PIV smartcard, that contains the biometrics of the applicant;
locking the PIV smartcard, wherein the PIV smartcard is locked after issuance;
verifying the applicant'"'"'s authenticity upon receiving the applicant'"'"'s request for access to security systems, including collecting a second biometrics for the applicant at a registration station; and
granting the applicant physical and logical access to the security systems by unlocking the PIV smartcard, wherein the PIV smartcard is unlocked after clearing with the IDM system by;
using a personal identification number (PIN) to release the biometrics on the PIV smartcard; and
using the IDM system to evaluate the second collected biometrics by comparing the second collected biometrics with the biometrics on the PIV smartcard.

Abstract
A method and system provide efficient exception handling of the production process of PIV smartcards. Specifically, an automatic personal identity verification (AutoPIV) system and process manage potential failures in identification for agencies, such as a breakdown in correct identification. The AutoPIV system and process may deny access to individuals falsely claiming to be someone with legitimate access rights. The AutoPIV system and process may also accurately identify those with legitimate access rights.

11. A system for efficient exception handling of the production process of personal identification verification (PIV) smartcards, comprising:
-
a central security clearance that checks biometrics of an applicant requesting access to security systems, wherein the central security clearance checks the biometrics of the applicant by conducting a criminal background check on the applicant; an identity management (IDM) system, the IDM system collecting a legend of an applicant from a PIV sponsor and collecting source identity documents and the biometrics of the applicant from a PIV registrar, wherein the PIV registrar verifies the authenticity of the source identity documents and biometrics of the applicant, wherein the IDM communicates with the central security clearance to obtain security and clearance approvals regarding the applicant; and a network connecting the central security clearance and the IDM system, wherein the IDM system issues a PIV smartcard for the applicant after obtaining the security and clearance approvals from the central security clearance, wherein the PIV smartcard contains the biometrics of the applicant, wherein the PIV smartcard is locked after issuance, wherein the IDM system, after verifying the applicant'"'"'s authenticity at a registration station including collecting a second biometrics of the applicant, grants the applicant physical and logical access to the security systems by unlocking the PIV smartcard, wherein the PIV smartcard is unlocked after clearing with the IDM system by using a personal identification number (PIN) to release the biometrics on the PIV smartcard, and using the IDM system to evaluate the second collected biometrics by comparing the second collected biometrics with the biometrics on the PIV smartcard, and wherein the IDM system communicates with the registration station using the network. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium providing instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium for efficient exception handling of the production process of personal identification verification (PIV) smartcards, the instructions comprising:
-
receiving an applicant legend from a PIV sponsor; checking the applicant a legend submitted by a PIV sponsor; collecting source identity documents and biometrics of the applicant; verifying the authenticity of the source identity documents and biometrics of the applicant prior to issuing a PIV smartcard at least once through a PIV registrar and at least once through a central security clearance; checking the biometrics by conducting a criminal background check on the applicant prior to issuing a PIV smartcard; inputting the legend, the source identity documents, the biometrics, and security and clearance approvals into an identity management (IDM) system; printing and issuing a PIV smartcard, that contains the biometrics of the applicant; locking the PIV smartcard, wherein the PIV smartcard is locked after issuance; verifying the applicant'"'"'s authenticity upon receiving the applicant'"'"'s request for access to security systems, including collecting a second biometrics for the applicant at a registration station; and granting the applicant physical and logical access to the security systems by unlocking the PIV smartcard, wherein the PIV smartcard is unlocked after clearing with the IDM system by; using a personal identification number (PIN) to release the biometrics on the PIV smartcard; and using the IDM system to evaluate the second collected biometrics by comparing the second collected biometrics with the biometrics on the PIV smartcard. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
