Age verification built for what the law now requires
Most age verification solutions ask users to upload a passport. Under the EU's Online Safety Act, eIDAS 2.0, and the Digital Services Act, that approach is not just outdated — it exposes platforms to significant fines and regulatory liability. AgeCheck API is the only compliant path forward: verify age without collecting identity, because the law no longer permits anything less.
Verify age. Protect privacy. Reduce friction.
Online platforms need age verification to protect minors and meet regulatory obligations. Most existing solutions are slow, invasive, and built for enterprise compliance teams rather than developers shipping products.
AgeCheck API is built for product teams that need a reliable, privacy-respecting solution that integrates in minutes, not months.
EU law is unambiguous. The Online Safety Act, GDPR, eIDAS 2.0, and the Digital Services Act collectively require age verification without identity collection. Platforms still storing passport scans or identity documents face enforcement action and fines of up to 6% of global turnover under the DSA. AgeCheck API removes that exposure entirely: no identity documents, no data retention, no liability.
How the product is built
Six principles that shape every decision, from API design to data handling.
Privacy by default
The system returns a result, not a profile. Only what is needed to confirm age is processed. Nothing is retained after the check completes.
Built for developers
Clean REST API, clear documentation, a sandbox that works on day one. Integration should take an afternoon, not a sprint.
Jurisdiction-aware
The UK Online Safety Act, EU DSA, eIDAS 2.0, GDPR. Each has different requirements. AgeCheck API handles the compliance layer so platforms do not have to.
Protecting minors, not just platforms
Age verification exists for a reason. The product is built to reduce genuine harm, not to generate a compliance checkbox.
No hidden data flows
How the system works, what is processed, and what is not retained is documented openly. There are no black boxes.
Simple by design
A YES or NO is all a platform needs. Complexity that does not serve that outcome does not belong in the product.
