EzLicense typically requires a driver s license number and one other authenticator, for example, so someone technically could renew a license for someone else. It does not, however, allow address changes. For that, citizens must visit an office and verify their identities. Someone with a little knowledge could likely pay someone else s property tax under ezProperty, as well. Governments can work out more exacting authentication schemes such as mailed personal identification numbers for particular transactions, Trimble said.
Several states use that tactic for online income tax payments.
And as digital signature authenticators enter the online vernacular, more e-government apps will become viable, Trimble said. The company plans to launch other applications over time, he said, including those with imaging capabilities. Inc. All rights reserved.
