Abstract: Systems and methods are directed toward verifying an identity of an individual and then subsequently confirming the identity of the individual, using biometric data for the individual, in connection with a request by the individual to establish a new account with an account provider. An account is initially generated for the individual when the individual is originally verified, and an identification device is issued to the individual and associated with the account. At this time, a reference biometric from the individual is also stored on the identification device. Then, later, when the individual desires to establish the new account, the individual validates his/her identity at the identification device by providing a biometric matching the reference biometric on the device. And in response, identification data for the individual, from the account generated when the individual was originally verified, is communicated to the account provider for use in establishing the new account.
