METHOD FOR STORING, DELIVERING, AND DISPLAYING DOCUMENTATION AND CREDENTIALS RELATED TO INTRASTATE AND INTERSTATE COMMERCE

摘要

A method and apparatus for one office, such as a State's fuel tax licensing bureau, to deliver an electronic/digital certificate to a licensee's “folder” and allow an authorized user to share a link to that object. This solves the three key problems: object delivery and provenance, allowing the issuer to set or update the obsolescence characteristics of the credential; easy accession by the receiving entity; and ability to accumulate the related documentation and share, electronically via a network (such as the internet). Since these links are managed by the new service, any participant need only have internet and/or email access.
