If you want to make sure your out-of-state match is who they say they are before you spend all the $ to travel there, I would suggest checking out this company- they actually send a person to meet with your match, make sure their ID matches, take a current photo, then you receive a report completed with the current pictures for you. I copied the following from their website at www.wegolook.com

WeGoLook is an online service that provides visual confirmation and a personalized report, completed by a real person, to verify a product, person, place or thing. WeGoLook customers are better informed, avoid costly surprises, plus benefit from unbiased confirmation without having to travel.

WeGoLook will go look at autos, boats, cycles, homes, vacation rentals, eBay items, Craig's list items, Granny's grave, etc... they even go meet with your out-of-state online date to verify their ID and take a current photo before you spend all the money to go meet them in person. Oh and they even arrange transportation for your auto,boat,cycle and will deliver your eBay item to the shipper so the seller can't switch the item around. They are awesome
