Age Verification Through Official European Digital Identity
Verify age using EUDI Wallet credentials. No selfies. No document uploads. No identity storage. Receive only a compliant YES / NO response.
Verification Flow
{ "verified": true }{ "verified": false }No personal data transferred to your application.
The Problem
Why Current Age Verification Is Broken
Existing solutions force a trade-off between user privacy and regulatory compliance. AgeCheck API eliminates that trade-off.
Selfie AI Estimation
- Estimates age — not verified
- False positives common
- Biometric data processing
- Regulatory uncertainty
Document Upload
- Passport / licence upload
- High user friction
- Data storage risk
- Higher abandonment rates
AgeCheck API
- Government-issued credential
- Cryptographically verified
- No age estimation
- No identity storage
- GDPR-first by design
How It Works
Five Steps to Verified Age
The entire flow completes in seconds. No document scanning. No biometric processing.
User clicks Verify Age
User approves in EUDI Wallet
Wallet confirms age attribute
AgeCheck API returns YES / NO
Access granted or denied
Developer Experience
Why Developers Choose AgeCheck API
- REST API — one endpoint, one response
- Fast integration — minutes, not days
- Simple boolean response model
- No biometric processing on your side
- No document handling or storage
- No identity data ever touches your servers
- Built for modern web and mobile applications
// POST /verify-age
const response = await fetch(
"https://api.agecheckapi.com/verify-age",
{
method: "POST",
headers: { Authorization: bearer },
body: JSON.stringify({ session_id }),
}
);
// Response
{
"verified": true
}Privacy & Compliance
GDPR & Privacy by Design
AgeCheck API is architected around GDPR principles from the ground up — not bolted on after the fact.
Data Minimisation
Only the age attribute is verified. No name, date of birth, or document data is ever requested or processed.
Purpose Limitation
The verification is scoped strictly to confirming age eligibility. Nothing beyond that is collected or inferred.
No Identity Retention
AgeCheck API does not store identity documents, biometric data, or any personal information after verification.
No Biometric Estimation
We do not estimate age from selfies or facial features. Verification is cryptographic, not probabilistic.
No Passport Storage
Users never upload passports or driving licences. Credentials stay inside the EUDI Wallet at all times.
Minimal Data Transfer
Your application receives only the information required to make an access decision — nothing more.
"The merchant receives only the information required to make an access decision."
Infrastructure
Built for the eIDAS 2.0 Future
The European Digital Identity framework mandates that all EU member states provide citizens with a digital identity wallet by 2026. AgeCheck API is built on this infrastructure from day one.
Rather than building another point solution, AgeCheck API is identity infrastructure — designed to scale with the EUDI ecosystem as it matures across Europe and beyond.
