A system and method for electronic signature validation is provided. Embodiments may include analyzing at least one government identification document, wherein analyzing includes authenticating the at least one government identification document. Embodiments may further include extracting personally identifiable information pertaining to a user from the at least one government identification document and displaying a digital copy of a document to be signed to the user. Embodiments may also include capturing an electronic signature of the document by the user and receiving personally identifiable information, wherein the personally identifiable information pertains to the user and enables the user to be uniquely identified. Embodiments may further transmitting a document signing transaction session.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic signature validation method comprising:

receiving, via a client device, at least one government identification document from a user, wherein the at least one government identification document is in a digital form;

receiving, via the client device, a first set of personally identifiable information pertaining to the user, wherein the personally identifiable information is in a digital form, wherein the first set of personally identifiable information includes at least one of location data and at least one answer to an identity challenge question, wherein receiving the first set of personally identifiable information is performed, at least in part, using a camera configured to capture a real-time image of the user, wherein the real-time image includes personally identifiable information;

authenticating, the at least one government identification document, wherein authenticating the at least one government identification document includes:

extracting a second set of personally identifiable information pertaining to a user from the at least one government identification document, wherein extracting the second set of personally identifiable information is performed by at least one software analysis program; and

comparing the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information, wherein comparing the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information is performed by the at least one software analysis program;

displaying a digital copy of a document to be signed to the user on the client device;

capturing an electronic signature of the document by the user on the client device;

transmitting, via the client device, a document signing transaction session, wherein the document signing transaction session includes, the digital copy of the document, the electronic signature, the at least one government identification document, the first set of personally identifiable information and the second set of personally identifiable information;

recording the document signing transaction session;

generating a unique document identification number, wherein the unique document identification number is associated with the document signing transaction session; and

storing at least one of the document signing transaction session and the unique document identification number.

2. The electronic signature validation method of claim 1 wherein receiving the at least one government identification document is performed, at least in part, using a document scanner configured to scan the at least one government identification document, wherein the at least one government identification document includes at least one of a photograph of the user and a signature of the user.

3. The signature validation method of claim 1 wherein comparing the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information comprises determining a confidence score for the comparison of the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information.

4. The electronic signature validation method of claim 3 wherein after the confidence score is determined, the confidence score is validated and the at least one government identification document is at least one of accepted or rejected.

5. The electronic signature validation method of claim 4 wherein the confidence score is validated by at least one supervisor.

6. The electronic signature validation method of claim 4 wherein the confidence score is validated by at least one software analysis program.

7. The electronic signature validation method of claim 1 wherein the document signing transaction session is transmitted in response to at least one of a prompt from a monitoring network and a response to an input from the user.

8. The electronic signature validation method of claim 1 wherein the client device includes at least one of a personal computer, a notebook computer, a smartphone, and a laptop computer device.

9. An electronic signature validation system including at least one processor configured to process one or more operations, said operations comprising:

receiving, via a client device, at least one government identification document from a user, wherein the at least one government identification document is in a digital form;

receiving, via the client device, a first set of personally identifiable information

pertaining to the user, wherein the personally identifiable information is in a digital form, wherein the first set of personally identifiable information includes at least one of location data and at least one answer to a identity challenge question, wherein receiving the first set of personally identifiable information is performed, at least in part, using a camera configured to capture a real-time image of the user, wherein the real-time image includes personally identifiable information;

authenticating the at least one government identification document, wherein authenticating the at least one government identification document comprises:

extracting a second set of personally identifiable information pertaining to a user from the at least one government identification document, wherein extracting the second set of personally identifiable information is performed by at least one software analysis program; and

comparing the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information, wherein comparing the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information is performed by the at least one software analysis program;

displaying a digital copy of a document to be signed to the user on the client device;

capturing an electronic signature of the document by the user on the client device;

transmitting, via the client device, a document signing transaction session, wherein the document signing transaction session includes, the digital copy of the document, the electronic signature, the at least one government identification document, the first set of personally identifiable information and the second set of personally identifiable information;

recording the document signing transaction session;

generating a unique document identification number, wherein the unique document identification number is associated with the document signing transaction session; and

storing at least one of the document signing transaction session and the unique document identification number.

10. The electronic signature validation system of claim 9 wherein the first set of personally identifiable information includes biometric data selected from the group consisting of a DNA analysis, an earlobe geometry analysis, an eye pattern analysis, a facial recognition analysis, a fingerprint analysis, a hand geometry analysis, a signature analysis and a voice waveform analysis.

11. The electronic signature validation system of claim 9 wherein comparing the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information includes determining a confidence score for the comparison of the first set of personally identifiable information to the second set of personally identifiable information.
