Do you plannig to make "confirmed" accounts, when wo\man should meet with your worker to confirm their face and skills.
It's great offer, but i think it can be not only meet but skype and any video chatting. And they just can't check all who want to be checked, so it should be VIP accounts only able to use this function.
Perhaps it will be enough to send scans of the passport or driver's license and after checking the pictures, the account will get the status of the authenticated
It's not difficult to do what you want with pictures, it can work only if they have access to base to compair scan with originals, in any case it may doesn't work. I understand that it not suitable not for all, but only live video can become a proof in my opinion.
"Confirmed" accounts will be automatic if users use the Civic key platform

For others it will be from Facebook profiles, but the matchmaking groups will also function as an unofficial form of verification and is one of the great benefits of networking that Ponder will enhance.
O, I had never heard about Civic, now I'll check it, maybe it safe, but how they verificate you? I don't understand... And about facebook, do you mean that on the platform willn't be profiles for "finders", they will use a facebook accounts? Or that confirmation will use facebook information?
Confirmation through facebook is ridiculous. In Facebook, a person can also put not real photos. Perhaps you mean verified accounts facebook will be verified and you?
