AI Age Check Without an ID
Find out if a user is old enough, without asking them for an ID document.
Our AI-powered Age Estimation checks a person’s age from their face, so businesses can screen users fast and keep things private.
How It Works
Users simply look into their device’s camera. Our software captures facial data instantly and checks whether the person meets the age threshold you’ve set. It all happens during the same liveness session, so there’s nothing extra for the user to do.
The system analyzes facial features while simultaneously confirming a real person is in front of the camera. When a 3D FaceScan is used, results are more accurate than older methods based on 2D images. No ID document is needed. If required, the age check can also be combined with identity verification to confirm a date of birth from an official document.
What This Feature Is For
Imagine an online shop that sells age-restricted products. Every new customer has to prove they’re old enough. Asking everyone to upload an ID slows things down, and many privacy-conscious users drop off. Age estimation solves this. The user passes the age check in a few seconds, and no document is needed.
This works well for any company that needs to check a user’s age without making sign-up a chore — online gaming and gambling, age-restricted content, social platforms with minimum age requirements, financial services, and online stores. When identity verification isn’t required, the age check can remain privacy-preserving. Age estimation is also already familiar to most smartphone users, so there’s nothing new for them to learn.
Key Product Advantages
Age Estimation does more than put up a simple age gate. It estimates age from a face scan alone, so you don’t have to collect a Photo ID, and the check runs during a liveness scan to make sure the person is really there.
The accuracy of our 3D FaceScan is one of our key strengths. Rich 3D facial data gives much more reliable results than flat 2D photos, and it works across different ages, genders, and ethnicities, even when lighting or camera quality isn’t great. You can use Age Estimation on its own or add it to your existing verification flow. And because the AI keeps learning, it gets better over time.
FAQ
Is an ID Document Required for an Age Check?
No, the user simply completes a face scan using their camera, and the system estimates their age without a passport or any other document.
What Age Thresholds are Supported?
Age Estimation supports the following thresholds: 8+, 13+, 16+, 18+, 21+, 25+, and 30+. The business chooses the threshold it needs.
What Does the Result Mean?
A successful result means the AI is at least 99.5% confident that the user meets the selected age threshold.
A negative result does not always mean the person is underage – it simply means the system could not confirm the result with enough confidence.
When does Age Estimation run?
Age Estimation can run during a liveness check, enrollment, re-verification, or Photo ID match. The user does not need to complete any extra steps.
