Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for extending data files beyond sources of the data files. One example computer-implemented method includes receiving, from a mobile device of a user, selection of an option to extend a data file compiled at a source party, where the option includes a unique identifier for the user and a source identifier, and soliciting, from the mobile device, an image of the user. The method also includes receiving a captured image of the user from the mobile device and retrieving, based on the unique identifier and the source identifier, the data file from the source party. The method then includes, when the captured image matches the data file, storing the data file as a reusable data file, whereby the data file is available to be provided to one or more relying parties, different than the source party, upon consent from the user.
