A computer-implemented method for use in providing a digital identity in association with a mobile communication device , the method comprising: capturing , by a mobile communication device , an image of a physical document , the image including a biometric of a user associated with the physical document; extracting , by the mobile communication device, the biometric from the image and converting the biometric to a biometric template; capturing , by the mobile communication device, via an input device of the mobile communication device, a biometric of the user; comparing , by the mobile communication device, the captured biometric of the user to the biometric template; and when the captured biometric of the user and the biometric template match: transmitting , by the mobile communication device, a message to an identification provider comprising at least the image of the physical document and the biometric template, whereby the biometric template is verified , by the identification provider, against a repository of biometric data; and binding , by the mobile communication device data representative of the mobile communication device, a mobile application included in the mobile communication device, and at least one of the biometric template and the captured biometric of the user into a token, in response to a signed result indicative of a verification of the biometric template, thereby enabling the mobile application to provide a digital identity associated with the user to one or more relying parties when authenticated at the communication device through use of the token. capturing , by a mobile communication device , an image of a physical document , the image including a biometric of a user associated with the physical document; extracting , by the mobile communication device, the biometric from the image and converting the biometric to a biometric template; capturing , by the mobile communication device, via an input device of the mobile communication device, a biometric of the user; comparing , by the mobile communication device, the captured biometric of the user to the biometric template; and when the captured biometric of the user and the biometric template match: transmitting , by the mobile communication device, a message to an identification provider comprising at least the image of the physical document and the biometric template, whereby the biometric template is verified , by the identification provider, against a repository of biometric data; and binding , by the mobile communication device data representative of the mobile communication device, a mobile application included in the mobile communication device, and at least one of the biometric template and the captured biometric of the user into a token, in response to a signed result indicative of a verification of the biometric template, thereby enabling the mobile application to provide a digital identity associated with the user to one or more relying parties when authenticated at the communication device through use of the token. transmitting , by the mobile communication device, a message to an identification provider comprising at least the image of the physical document and the biometric template, whereby the biometric template is verified , by the identification provider, against a repository of biometric data; and binding , by the mobile communication device data representative of the mobile communication device, a mobile application included in the mobile communication device, and at least one of the biometric template and the captured biometric of the user into a token, in response to a signed result indicative of a verification of the biometric template, thereby enabling the mobile application to provide a digital identity associated with the user to one or more relying parties when authenticated at the communication device through use of the token. <EOS>
