A networked-based system for providing online verification of users applying for third-party services available through the network is provided. The system employs a first server node connected to the network for offering application to third-party services through the network, a user node connected the network for accessing the first server node and applying for third-party services, a second server node connected to the network and accessible from the first server node, the second server node for processing verification requests communicated from the first server node, a third server node connected the network and accessible from the second server node, the third server node for navigating on the network by proxy according to navigation requests communicated from the second server node and a data repository accessible at least to the second server node for storing data about users being verified. A user operating the user node accesses the first server node and applies for a service or services offered through the first server node and submits data for verification, the first server node sending the data in the form of a verification request to the second server node, the second server node creating a navigation request containing a portion of the submitted data and sending the navigation request to third server, the third server performing the navigation according to the request and reporting navigation results back to the second server, the second server reporting the results back to the first server for verification purposes.
