Rebecca, I forgot about it, but let me shamelessly promote a small article concerning identity validation in relation to OpenID I just wrote recently. Here validations including ones which are performed by a community network come into play. Thanks. :-)

There are some providers which can provide you this service, please see http://www.startssl.com/?app=14
For example my ID is here: https://eddyn.startssl.com/

However no useful exchange protocol or standard for OpenID exists really to automatically on such information, but Nat, who also posted a reply to your question, is working on setting up a work group for trust exchange (TX) which might facilitate such exchange of information. I expect TX to be highly interesting in this respect.

For now I guess you'll have to hand-pick the providers which do perform real identity validations.

Hi all

I'm researching a new online service that I will be building. I want to use Open ID, however we're going to require real-world identification verification, as the service will have legally binding information in it.

Just wondering whether open id is being used with real-world identification verification, and what the list's thoughts are on this. 

Thanks,

Rebecca
