A method for verifying the identity of an individual at a selected location, such as a point of sale (POS), includes storing a photograph of the individual with an associated verifier, such as the individual's verified name, at a remote service provider. A request for a photograph of the individual having the associated verifier is transmitted from the selected location to the remote service provider via a secure data communication network. In response to the request, the service provider matches the verifier with the verifier stored in the database and transmits the photograph associated therewith back to the selected location via the network. The individual's photograph is displayed at the selected location and used by a merchant or the like to verify the identity of the individual.
