COMPENSATION FOR HONORARY CONSULS

INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR HONORARY CONSULS IMPLEMENTING AND MAINTAINING THE CONSULAR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE / IDENTIFY.NU IDENTITY VERIFICATION STANDARD OF CONSUL.CC


The Consular Chamber of Commerce and Identify.nu have developed an unprecedented accuracy in identity verification and delivery, for international and domestic use.

Utilizing new capabilities in established standards of authentication and transmittal of individual identities internationally, we anticipate partnership with government agencies globally, as well as with organizations of notaries public and the Hague Conference on Private International Law.

METHODOLOGY

Clients of Identify.nu complete an identity verification process which includes obtaining and providing a copy of their passport, certified by a consul and bearing a Hague Apostille or legalization by the issuing country (if the member consul represents the issuing country and has powers to provide legalization). Consul members of the Consular Chamber of Commerce are presented with, or assist in obtaining, passport copies which carry the legalization or the Hague Apostille.

Upon receipt of the apostilled or legalized passport copy in person, the member consul verifies that the document appears to be a true and correct copy of the original, then scan and uploads the document to the consul.cc secure online storage facility.

Once uploaded, the Identify.nu Due Diligence Department reviews the file for inaccuracies, then adds it to the identify.nu system.

FUNCTIONALITY

The document is stored securely on dedicated servers in Denmark, and becomes part of an image file which the identified person may authorize for release to any other Identify.nu subscriber, including Consular Chamber of Commerce confirmed members.

The Identify.nu system interfaces with OpenID.org, allowing for the secure and seamless integration of this unprecedented level of identity verification into existing internet uses, such as bank account logins, airline bookings, and age verifications and name checking on social networking sites, among thousands of other possibilities.

The ability of the Identify.nu system to provide on-location government-vetted individuals virtually anywhere in the world (consuls) to confirm the apostilled or legalized identifications, coupled with the ability to deliver the results securely by standardized method of OpenID.org or by membership in the Consular Chamber of Commerce, creates a new standard in identity documentation and verification.

CONSUL ELIGIBILITY FOR COMPENSATION

Members of the Consular Chamber who are certified by the Chamber as having been confirmed by their receiving countries, and who perform such identity verifications for other certified member consuls free of charge, are eligible to confirm identification for any identify.nu subscriber, for compensation.

Identify.nu will pay each consul US $10.00 for each identification confirmed by a paying member of identify.nu. Each such identity verification re-confirmed upon expiration of the passport verified will also provide a $10.00 renewal fee to the verifying consul.

Should the verification be for a paid member of the Consular Chamber of Commerce, the verifying consul will receive compensation of US $20.00 per verification and US $20.00 per year for every year that individual remains a paid and ID confirmed member of the Consular Chamber of Commerce.


CONCLUSION

With the clear and immediate need for confirmed identification transmitted digitally, the Identify.nu system of ID verification and delivery provided by the Consular Chamber of Commerce is likely to be utilized by millions of individuals around the world. Consuls are uniquely positioned to facilitate this necessary migration, and to be properly compensated in an ongoing fashion for doing so.
