Age Verification: Understand who’s old enough.
Whether you’re selling age-restricted products, onboarding new users, or meeting regulatory requirements, knowing your customer’s age isn’t just a checkbox – it’s critical for compliance, safety, and brand reputation. With IDnow Age Verification, you can instantly and accurately confirm every user’s age, blocking underage access and building trust with every interaction.
Purpose built for age-restricted trust.
From online marketplaces and gaming to financial services and regulated retail, age matters – whether for compliance, safety or brand reputation. Our solution combines advanced document extraction, analysis, and real-time decisioning to deliver accurate, seamless age checks for any use case.
Deploy trust, your way.
Automated self-service.
Users simply upload their ID document, such as a passport, ID card, or driver’s license. Our system extracts the date of birth using OCR, calculates the user’s age, and compares it to your configured minimum age requirements. Results are delivered instantly, keeping genuine users moving.
Expert-led verification.
For high-assurance flows, users verify their age in a live video call with an identification specialist. The specialist checks the authenticity of the government-issued ID, confirms the user matches the document holder, and validates the date of birth – ensuring reliable, compliant age verification for regulated services.
Point of Service integration.
At the point of service, users present their ID document, which is scanned using OCR or NFC technology. The system extracts the date of birth, checks it against your minimum age requirement, and flags any mismatches. If needed, staff can manually review the document – ensuring fast, compliant age verification wherever you interact with customers.
What we analyze
Here’s how we validate age with speed and precision:
Reality Check: Fraud in Action
A user uploads a doctored ID with an altered birthdate. Our system detects inconsistencies in the document layout and flags the submission for review, stopping underage access before it happens.
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
A 17-year-old tries to sign up for an 18+ service. The system calculates their age and blocks the registration – keeping your business compliant.
Reality Check: Compliance in Action
A user tries to register with a licensed gambling platform in Germany. During the live video session, our specialist confirms the ID is real, matches the face, and verifies the user meets the legal age under GlüStV. With BaFin-level assurance, only eligible players get through — keeping your platform compliant and protected.
