Automated biometric comparison (e.g., facial recognition or other fully automated algorithm-driven biometric comparison) can be performed for onsite or remote identity proofing events. The facial image or other biometric characteristic (e.g., fingerprints, palm prints, iris and retina patterns, voiceprints, vein patterns) on the identity evidence or stored in authoritative records is compared to the equivalent biometric sample collected from the applicant during the identity proofing event.
