SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTITY VERIFICATION

Abstract:

Systems and method for verifying an identity of a user during interaction with a resource provider are disclosed. Embodiments enable using an authorization request message to inquire about an identity attribute (e.g. age) of a user during an interaction between the user and a resource provider. An authorizing entity (e.g. issuer) or a processing entity provides an answer to the inquiry within an authorization response message. The answer to the inquiry may establish whether the consumer meets a threshold (e.g. minimum age requirement).
