ABSTRACT:
A method of identification to determine whether a person tendering a document, such as a check or credit card, is the proper bearer of the instrument. The method involves assigning a series of letters designating various physical characteristics of the proper bearer of the instrument, such as the sex and race of the person, the color of the eyes and hair, the age, height and weight, and whether the person typically carries any of several different accessories. Letters corresponding to these various characteristics are applied to the instrument so that the person to whom it is tendered need merely compare the characteristics identified by the letters with the characteristics of the person tendering the instrument. In one modification, numerals are used to indicate age, height and weight. Where the information is added to a credit card in which the information with regard to the account number, name and so forth is embossed upwardly, the information can be applied so that it does not project above the surface of the card so that it does not appear upon carbons or charge slips when the card is placed into an ordinary credit card charge slip imprinting machine. The information with regard to the physical characteristics of a person may be imprinted on a check following the name. The information with regard to the payee can also be added to checks by providing a series of columns with identifying data and marking the data peculiar to the particular payee.
