Electronic verification is still in its infancy. If you have a sure fire way of making sure of identity, you're going to be a very rich person. But, nothing still beats the telephone call to the certifying agency if you are in doubt. A log book entry by a instructor is prove enough, with the call. One of the problems I've had is IANTD in FL doesn't have the updates from the subs on a regular basis. So, with my cards from the Canada sub, FL doesn't know until months later. You'd have to call the office in Vancouver to verify certification. Maybe the answer is electronic verification by secure e-mail link (direct dial to certification agency). ---------- From: DYER, BILL[SMTP:BILL.DYER@mi*.co*.uk*] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 1995 12:40 AM To: techdiver@terra.net Subject: E-Mail letter of authenticity, was: IANTD(UK) - no way!
