SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USER ENROLLMENT IN A SECURE BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION SYSTEM
A computer-implemented method and system for verifying the identity of a user in an identity authentication and biometric verification system which includes collecting information from the user regarding the user's identity, which is then electronically authenticated. Upon authentication, personal information regarding the verified identity of the user is retrieved from a source database which is used to verify the identity of the user, via user interaction. Upon successful verification and authentication, biometric data regarding the user is electronically collected.

21 . A biometric identification system, comprising:
at least one non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and
at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
receive first information regarding a person;
receive second information read from a physical item associated with the person;
determine the person with which to associate stored biometric data at least by using at least one of the first information or the second information to access data stored in at least one external data source;
verify the person using the at least one external data source and the at least one of the first information or the second information;
receive biometric data for the person electronically collected using a biometric capture device; and
upon confirming a correspondence between the stored biometric data and the biometric data, perform an action.
22 . The biometric identification system of claim 21 , wherein the action includes initiating processing of a payment.
23 . The biometric identification system of claim 21 , wherein the second information corresponds to data from a payment card.
24 . The biometric identification system of claim 21 , wherein the at least one processor instructs storing payment information for the person associated with the stored biometric data.
25 . The biometric identification system of claim 21 , wherein the first information is received from a first input component of at least one electronic device.

receiving first information regarding a person;
receiving second information read from a physical item associated with the person;
determining the person with which to associate stored biometric data using at least one of the first information or the second information to access data stored in at least one external data source;
verifying the person using the at least one external data source and the at least one of the first information or the second information;
receiving biometric data for the person electronically collected using a biometric capture device; and
upon confirming a correspondence between the stored biometric data and the biometric data, perform an action.
32 . The method of claim 31 , wherein:
the receiving the biometric data for the person electronically collected using the biometric capture device comprises receiving the biometric data for the person electronically collected using the biometric capture device of a first electronic device; and
the method further comprises receiving the second biometric data from a second electronic device.
33 . The method of claim 31 , further comprising instructing storing payment information for the person associated with the stored biometric data.
34 . The method of claim 31 , further comprising receiving payment information for the person.
