Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention envisions providing requester with a computer program for a remote computer equipped with a scanning device. The computer program controls the scanning device and prevents alterations to an image produced by the scanning device. The unaltered image of a photo ID is transmitted from the remote computer 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 photographs from other sources.
