A METHOD OF VERIFYING ID-PAPERS AND THE LIKE, AND A METHOD TO USE INFORMATION CARRIED BY AN ID-DOCUMENT STORED IN A DATA BASE FOR VERIFYING PURCHASES BY CREDIT OR BANK CARDS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of verifying ID-papers and the like, particularly a document (1) that includes a photograph of a person that supports the identity of said person, wherein subsequent to having provided the document with all necessary information, including a photograph of the bearer of the document, the authority or organisation issuing the document scans the information carried by the document and stores the information in a data base so that upon presentation of the document (1) the scanned replica can be retrieved (5) and compared with the presented document. The invention also relates to a method to use information carried by an ID-document stored in a data base, wherein a registration of an ID-document including a photograph in the data base is registered in connection to a specific credit or bank card, so that when the credit or bank card is drawn in a card terminal, a connection is established to the data base in which the ID-document is registered and the photograph is displayed on the terminal.
