Verichip

A revolution in the making: VeriChip is a miniaturized, implantable radio frequency identification (RFID) device for use in a variety of identification and information applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip contains a unique verification number, which can be used to access a subscriber-supplied database providing personal related information.

Once implanted just under the skin, via a quick, simple and painless outpatient procedure (much like getting a shot), the VeriChip can be scanned when necessary with a proprietary VeriChip scanner. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the individual’s unique personal verification (VeriChip ID)
number. The VeriChip Subscriber Number then provides instant access to the Global VeriChip Subscriber (GVS) Registry – through secure, password-protected web access to
subscriber-supplied information. This data is maintained by state-of-the-art GVS
Registry operations centers in Riverside, California and Owings, Maryland.
