Age Estimation & Verification Β· EU DSA Β· UK OSA

Age verification in 5 seconds, two modes available.

WeVerify's age verification product runs entirely in the browser. No account required, no app to download, no personal data retained after the check completes. Satisfies EU Digital Services Act and UK Online Safety Act mandatory age assurance requirements.

Two modes for two risk levels

Estimate for low-risk. Verify for high-risk.

Age Estimation Mode Β· €0.20
Biometric estimation, always with a liveness check
A biometric analysis of the user's selfie estimates whether they meet the required age threshold, always combined with a liveness check to confirm a real, present person (no photos, no deepfakes). Returns an over/under result, not an age. No document scanned. Completes in under 5 seconds, for just €0.20 per check.
  • Always includes a liveness check, real, present person
  • Over/under threshold result only, no age stored
  • Under 5 seconds from any smartphone browser, no document needed
  • No personal data retained after session
  • Just €0.20 per estimation
Verified Age Mode
NFC passport verification for maximum legal certainty
Combines NFC passport reading with biometric liveness to produce a cryptographically verified age result. Satisfies the highest regulatory interpretation of age verification requirements, including for gambling, adult content, and regulated pharmaceuticals.
  • NFC passport, government-issued age proof
  • Biometric liveness confirms physical presence
  • Verified age result without storing personal data
  • Satisfies enhanced due diligence obligations
  • Audit log available per verification event
πŸ”
Privacy by architecture, not a policy statement
WeVerify's age verification uses a zero-knowledge approach. Raw biometric data never leaves the user's device. The platform receives only the over/under threshold result, not the user's biometric, not their age, not their identity. This design satisfies GDPR Article 9 requirements for biometric data processing without creating a data retention liability for the operator.

Regulatory context

Mandatory age verification, what the laws actually require.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί
EU Digital Services Act (DSA)
Very large online platforms and search engines designated under the DSA must implement age assurance for minor-protection obligations. Non-compliance carries fines of up to 6% of global annual turnover. The DSA requires technically reliable age verification, not soft checks or self-declaration.
πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§
UK Online Safety Act (OSA)
UK platforms hosting pornographic content and other adult material must implement age verification. Ofcom can issue fines of up to Β£18 million or 10% of global turnover. The Act requires robust age verification methods, and specifically states that self-declaration does not satisfy the obligation.

Industry applications

Every sector with an age restriction obligation.

Online gambling & gaming

Gambling regulators across the EU and UK require mandatory age verification before access to betting, casino, and gaming platforms. WeVerify satisfies both estimation and full verification requirements.

Tobacco, vaping & alcohol

FMCG brands selling age-restricted products online and at smart vending machines need frictionless, compliant age checks. WeVerify's estimation mode completes without an app or account in under 5 seconds.

Online pharmacy & healthcare

Certain pharmaceutical products require age verification at purchase. WeVerify's verified mode provides a legally admissible age confirmation tied to a government-issued document.

Social media platforms

DSA and national child safety laws require social media platforms to implement age assurance for users under 13 or 16. WeVerify's privacy-first approach avoids creating children's data liabilities.

Adult content platforms

The EU DSA and UK OSA both specifically require robust age verification for adult content. WeVerify's verified mode satisfies the highest interpretation of these requirements.

Events & venues

Smart entry systems and digital ticketing platforms can integrate WeVerify's age estimation for frictionless age verification at the point of ticket purchase or venue entry.

Age verification built for the regulation already in force.
