1. A method comprising:
downloading, by a device associated with a user, an instance of an application;
in response to downloading the instance of the application and prior to receiving access to the instance of the application, receiving, by the device, a request for an image of a government-issued identification card; and
a real-time image of the user captured at a time after the request is received by the device;
sending, to an authorization system separate from the device, the image of the government-issued identification card and the real-time image of the user to:
verify an authenticity of the government-issued identification card; and
verify that a picture of a person on the image of the government-issued identification card matches the real-time image of the user;
in response to a comparison of the image of the government-issued identification card to the real-time image of the user resulting in a match, receiving access to the instance of the application,
wherein a unique identifier is assigned to the instance of the application and is associated with the device or the user; and
in response to receiving the access to the instance of the application, automatically allowing the user to use the application on the device in future sessions as an authenticated user based on the unique identifier.
