Methods for capturing an image for identity verification and recordation are provided. The methods may include receiving, at a specialized processing device, transfer data from a remote terminal. The methods may include determining, based on the transfer data, that an identity verification process is required to execute the transfer data. The methods may include sending, based on a determination that the identity verification process is required, a first image file to the terminal for display. The methods may include receiving from a mobile device, information derived from the first image file which identifies the transfer data and a second image file. The methods may include determining, whether the second image file meets a predefined criteria associated with the transfer data identified by the information derived from the first image file. The methods may include sending an authorization signal upon determining that the second image file meets the criteria.
