Company sends document with unique barcode to person they are trying to verify. Person takes to local UPS store and has public notary verify that person signing document really is "John Q Smith". Person sends back doc, with notary stamp and recordation number showing licensed person has authenticated.
This way your actual ID never leaves your possession.
- xav0989 9y agoThat's how public student loan applications in Ontario work. They send you a document with a unique barcode, you go to the post office and prove your identity there. They scan the document and that sends a message to the loan centre that this person was positively identified.
