Identity Verification Service - Privacy Impact Assessment

Identity Verification Service

A new service is being introduced as a way for people to verify their identity to government agencies online and in real-time to a high level of confidence. The proposed identity verification service is part of igovt.

igovt is the working title for a set of all-of-government services that will help people to interact securely with government agencies online. Another key component of igovt is the government logon service, which will work in combination with the identity verification service.
