Answer 1

Answer:

C. To directly check data from issuers to verify documents.

• Instant Verification: Instead of manually checking physical documents, agencies can verify a digital document in real time.

• Direct Access to Issuers: The system connects directly to the source of the document (e.g., transport department for a driving license, or a university for a degree certificate).

• Ensures Authenticity: This process confirms that the document is genuine and has not been tampered with, thereby preventing fraud.

• Promotes Efficiency: It significantly speeds up administrative processes, as there's no need to wait for physical copies to be verified.
