Abstract

Identity confirmation is sought by vendors in order to confirm the identity of, for example, parties attempting to open accounts and/or make purchases. Various vendors, including utility companies, financial institutions, and retailers, may submit identity queries to a telecommunications service provider. The provider may or may not be able to confirm the identities submitted in these queries, and may store the received queries and employ a plurality of sensors in order to eventually determine if there is enough corresponding and/or overlapping information received to confirm identities or promote previously unconfirmed identities to a verified identity data store.
