Age Verification

Our Age Verification method is the perfect solution to verify age on your website, app or CRM system.

If you sell age restricted products or services it is essential to check the customer’s age. Our system will use UK person data to verify a person is 18 or over.

Examples of products or services in the UK that require age verification:

• Alcohol Sales
• Online Gambling
• Crypto exchanges
• Gaming
• Knives, axes and other tools
• Airguns / Crossbows
• Solvents / Aerosol paints
• Fireworks
• Vaping / Smoking and other tobacco products

How it works

The age verification method may be accessed from your website or application via XML, SOAP or JSON. Typically our clients use webhooks on a checkout event or a jquery call to check registration information.

The method allows the validation of any UK person when surname, forename, postcode and first line of address are all supplied.

Your supplied data will be used to find a match within our vast UK dataset. When a match is found, the method will deliver a validation status of true if the person is over 18, along with the quality of the match. You can even control the level of fuzziness that the method uses, through a series of parameters.

We also offer bulk age verification checks using the age_verification_bulk method.
