<p>A method is disclosed of verifying that an identifying card presented by a holder at a particular location in fact is validly associated with that holder. A unique image representative of a true holder of the card is stored in a database at at least one central location. The database is accessed from the particular location and the unique image is retrieved from the database and transmitted to a display device at the particular location, thereby to permit comparison of the unique image with that of the holder presenting the identifying card. A central storage system for use in the method has storage means for the storing unique images. An access control system controls access by authorised persons only to the unique images. A remote location interrogation system for use in the method is also disclosed.</p> |
