A verification system comprises a store (5) for storing valid data representing biometric and identity information for individuals within a population. A controller (1) receives in a first format valid biometric and/or identity information and stores corresponding data in the store (5), and receives biometric and/or identity information in a second, different format relating to a person to be verified. The controller (1) accesses the store (5) to determine whether the received biometric and/or identity information is the same as or is sufficiently similar to previously stored associated, valid biometric and/or identity data, and generates a suitable output signal corresponding to the result of the determination. |
