Abstract:
The disclosed computer-implemented method for creating validated identities for dependent users may include (1) identifying both a validated user of an identity validation service who has a previously validated identity and a dependent user who cannot create a new validated identity via the identity validation service, (2) enabling, via a graphical user interface displayed on the computing device, the validated user to create the new validated identity for the dependent user in response to determining that the validated user has the previously validated identity, (3) linking the new validated identity for the dependent user to the previously validated identity of the validated user, and (4) generating a token that represents the new validated identity for the dependent user and that comprises a link to the previously validated identity of the validated user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
