Age And ID Verification Addresses Social Responsibility

 Age and ID Verification is your First Line of Defense in creating an Internet Safe Environment. While looking for non-intrusive ways to wage the battle of identity fraud from the front lines, Group Members decided to use  proven methods and existing platforms that have been in-place for years to securely access necessary verification information. Our youth is our future; and as a business we have a need and responsibility to protect them while protecting your business from potential liability (see COPA and COPPA). Our clients also need to provide for a safe trusted online environment. The Identity Verification process protects you and your members by holding the members of your community responsible for their actions and behaviors. Through Age and ID Verification, your members are not aliased or anonymous to you or the management of  your community platform. Although your members are aliased by the use of a username throughout the website, every username is related to a verified person in our databases. The sum of the 1st and last digit of a social security number provides a unique method of solving many identity fraud issues while staying well within compliance of federal privacy regulations.

 The Age and ID Verification results are based on information found in billions of records that come from hundreds of trusted data sources. The service provider and Group Members are not an aggregator of data. Group Members does not collect, store, sell, or share data. The system responsibly compares the user's registration form entries against public data resources to provide an answer to the age and identity query. While much of the world devises complex and expensive identity solutions that are intrusive to the customer and is resource intensive, this non-intrusive age and identity authentication is a method of checking on the members registration age without asking too much information. When integrating the system, the developer has kept the customers privacy, ease of use, and low impact on resources, in-mind. No credit card or credit information is required to use the system. The Age and ID verification system currently works only  for residents of the United States and Canada. The system will be expanded to European residents in the near future.

The Cost Of Trusted Membership

 Fee's associated with providing the Age and ID Verification system are the responsibility of our clients. Unfortunately, safety is not free. The "Value Added Proposition" of the Age and Identity Verification system is justified by the" Value Of Trusted Membership". Age and Identity can re-verified periodically throughout your members subscription period to maintain the "Trust Value". No information is collected by Group Members International or its service providers from this verification process. Because Group Members retains your true identity, your community members are accountable for actions and behavior associated with their account.

How Age And Identification Verification Works

 The process is seamlessly integrated into the registration process. Your members fill in the registration form and answer the questions truthfully. It can take up to a minute to verify each registrants information. If they have provided accurate information, they should be processed quickly. There is a 5% failure rate for verification due to changed addresses, ambiguous results and multiple returns.
