1. A Personal Identity Verification System for verifying the identity of an individual carrying a wireless mobile communications device, at an identity verification site, comprising:
image data of an area of the individual's body, said image data being stored in the wireless mobile communications device carried by the individual at the identity verification site,
at least one image capture device configured to capture visual data of an area of the individual's body while the individual is at the identity verification site,
at least one wireless communications module arranged at the identity verification site configured to receive the image data from the wireless mobile communications device while the individual is at the identity verification site,
an electronic circuit, connected to the at least one wireless communications module and to the at least one image capture device, arranged at the identity verification site, configured
to determine a distance between the mobile communications device carried by the individual and the at least one wireless communications module arranged at the identity verification site,
to compare the image data with the visual data, and
to generate positive verification information when the image data and the visual data are established to be similar within a similarity-tolerance and the distance between the mobile communications device carried by the individual and the at least one wireless communications module arranged at the identity verification site is smaller than a predefined value.
