If it is less than the set value, the application will be declined or sent to your compliance service. A full check includes Face matching and a Liveness test.

Liveness test
Make sure that the person going through your verification process is physically present and provides their own documents and selfies. During the identification process, the customer is asked to perform a few simple movements (like smiling) in front of the camera.

Which industries need to introduce age verification
Online gaming
Simple proof of age on a website is no longer acceptable for regulation. Mandatory verification confirming a player's identity and age is being introduced in countries across Europe, Asia and Africa.
Gambling and betting
Regulation has set a strict 18+ limit in most countries. Violations risk fines of hundreds of thousands of euros. This makes age verification one of the cornerstones to stay compliant in this industry.
Online dating
Dating sites without mandatory age verification can pose a threat to the integrity of children. Unfortunately, cases of harassment, intimidation and violence are recorded on platforms without due diligence.
Alcohol, tobacco, vaping and others
Around 20% of teenagers admit to finding ways to buy alcohol and e-cigarettes. Protect your business and the health of teenagers with age verification on your seller platform.
Ensuring accurate age verification and Preventing Circumvention
Simply checking a date of birth isn’t always enough. That’s why our solution goes further to ensure your age verification process is truly reliable. Our Face Recognition technology confirms that the person presenting the ID is the same person as in the document photo, stopping impostors in their tracks. Additionally, our Liveness test requires simple actions, like a head turn or smile, proving the person is physically present and not just using a photo or mask. We also use smart AI to examine the ID document itself, looking for tiny security details like holograms or specific patterns to confirm it’s in fact genuine. These checks work together seamlessly, giving you high confidence that you’re verifying the right person and accurately confirming they meet the required age, effectively blocking underage access and preventing fraud.
Flexible Verification Tailored to Your Needs
We understand that every business has unique requirements. We offer the flexibility you need to create an age verification process that fits perfectly. You can easily set the minimum age limit whether it’s 18, 21, or any other age required by your products or local laws. You also have control over the verification steps. For lower-risk situations, a quick document check might be sufficient. For higher risk industries or transactions, you can easily add Face Matching and Liveness detection for extra security. We also make sure the verification flow looks and feels like part of your own website or app, with options to customize the appearance with your branding and specific instructions. This flexibility helps you meet compliance rules effectively while keeping the experience smooth and user friendly for your customers.
Protecting Users and Your Business with Secure Data Handling
Verifying age involves handling sensitive information and protecting that data is our top priority. Our solution is built with privacy and security at its core, fully complying with regulations like GDPR. We use strong encryption to protect user data both when it’s being sent to us and when it’s stored. We practice data minimization meaning we only process and keep the information absolutely necessary for the verification. Once the check is complete and the data is no longer needed for legal or compliance reasons, it’s securely deleted according to strict protocols. This commitment to secure data handling is crucial for building trust with your users and protecting your business from the significant risks associated with data privacy breaches.

FAQ
What is an age verification and why is it necessary?
Age verification for online businesses is a digital process that confirms a user’s age before allowing access to age-restricted content, products or services. It’s important to protect minors from accessing inappropriate content, comply with increasingly strict regulations worldwide and protect your business reputation. As regulations tighten across the world a simple self-declaration method are no longer sufficient for legal compliance, making robust verification essential for businesses offering age-restricted products or services.
How does the age verification process work for end users?
The process is pretty straightforward and user-friendly. Users are asked to photograph their ID document (passport, driver’s license, ID card etc) using their smartphone camera or webcam. They then take a selfie and may be asked to perform simple movements for something called liveness detection. The system then extracts the date of birth from the document, calculates the user’s age and compares it against your set minimum age requirement. The entire process typically takes just a few seconds, with results delivered instantly to your compliance team.
What types of documents are supported by the verification system?
Our system supports over 14,000 document types from 190+ countries and territories. This includes passports, ID cards, driver’s licenses and residence permits.

How does the system prevent fraud and fake IDs?
The verification solution employs multiple security layers to prevent fraud. Beyond simply extracting the date of birth, it authenticates the document by checking security features like holograms and microprint, validates data consistency and uses face matching to confirm the person presenting the ID is its rightful owner. Additionally, liveness detection prevents the use of photos or masks during verification. This multi-layered approach effectively blocks sophisticated fraud attempts while maintaining a smooth user experience for your customers.
How can our age verification software be customized for different business needs?
The software offers extensive customization options to match your specific requirements. You can set any minimum age threshold (18, 21, or any other age) based on your products or local regulations.
