Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention envisions providing requester with an application for a mobile device equipped with a built-in digital photo camera. The application controls the camera and prevents alterations to an image taken with the camera. The unaltered image of a photo ID is transmitted from the mobile device to the verifier's server computer. The image of the photo ID may further be used to verify the requester by comparing the image to the photographs from other sources.
