Age verification uses data from identity document validation in conjunction with biometric data to confirm a customer's age. This helps businesses ensure customer safety and regulatory compliance when offering age-sensitive products or services online.
Use case/ examples for age verification
Fraud prevention: Protecting minors from predators using fake identities to access gaming and social sites, or blocking access by those who have violated the site's terms and conditions in the past and are attempting to make new accounts with different identities.
Ethical and social responsibility: Operating ethically by reliably preventing underage access, to protect minors from the health and safety risks associated with age-sensitive content.
Compliance with laws and regulations: Restricting access to age-restricted products and services to stay in compliance with all applicable state, local, and federal guidelines.
Customer onboarding: Utilizing document checks, biometric verification, and liveness detection to quickly fulfill all legal requirements for identity verification while delivering a seamless onboarding experience, reducing abandonment, and reducing long-term costs by lowering chargeback rates.
