Abstract

A method and apparatus is provided for verifying the validity of ID cards. A card reading device reads an ID card and transmits a request to a database server. A database is queried and a reply is sent back to the card reading device indicating whether the ID is valid. If desired, the reply can include additional information, such as a description of the ID holder. The ID verification system can be used to help verify whether an ID belongs to the ID holder. The system can also log and timestamp events for future access.

Claims

1-19. -19. (canceled)

20. An apparatus comprising:

at least one reader;

a processor configured to perform functions including at least;

reading personal information from an ID of a person using the at least one reader;

reading biometric information of the person using the at least one reader;

determining verification of the personal information and the biometric information at least partly using at least one database; and

enabling at least one action in response to determining verification of the personal information and the biometric information.

21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the apparatus comprises a web-enabled cellular telephone.

22. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the apparatus comprises one or more of a wireless device, personal digital assistant, computer, or cash register.

23. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the at least one reader comprises a card reader and a biometric reader.
