Portcard.net authenticates the identity of the person behind a username on social networking services like AIM, MySpace, and Facebook. Portcard.net gives you the security of knowing it can identify a user to law enforcement if there is a problem, such as dealing with a predator or cyber bully. By limiting access to only verified users, Portcard removes the total anonymity that internet predators and cyber bullies currently hide behind.

Portcard.net keeps the creeps away.

• When chatting with a new person, you or your kids simply "card" the person on Portcard.net to confirm that person is a member and that we have their true identity stored safely in our database. If the user who contacts you is a member of Portcard.net, you will see: “Authenticated.”
• Because our membership process includes authenticating a member’s true identity, suspicious characters will be discouraged from becoming members at Portcard.net. When you try to verify a user who is not a member of Portcard, you will be advised: “You are at risk.”
• Portcard.net stores the true identity of its members without compromising their privacy. We securely store member identities and only provide that information to law enforcement agencies upon an official request. We do not sell, advertise or otherwise use your information.

It is easy to invite friends to become Portcard.net members, and the service is reasonably priced at $9.95 per year for individuals, and $14.95 for families. Your membership allows you to list all your social network and instant messenger usernames under a single registration and update your online profiles immediately.

Portcard.net is also proud to be a partner of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America; working with them to make the Internet a safer place for children.
