Abstract: The Universal Identity Validation System and Method (UIVSM) is a novel system and method for validating identity of membership on behalf of third-party entities. The UIVSM will validate identity for in-person and cyber-based interactions. Embodiments of this invention relate to the collection of enough biometric attribute information from an individual during enrollment at a supervised biometric scanning site to provide for the capability to revalidate this individual's identity during future biometric scans at supervised biometric scanning sites with an extremely high degree of accuracy. A plurality of method-operator controlled supervised biometric scanning sites will be deployed across the region for which UIVSM services are offered, as individuals must be physically present at a method-operator supervised biometric scanning site for a supervised biometric scan. Gathered biometric attribute information from enrolled persons will be stored in an information store, so individuals may not re-enroll.
