Verify age where the law requires it
How ScreenlyyID checks age
- ID document and liveness. The customer captures an ID. We authenticate it, read the date of birth, and confirm with a live selfie and face match that the person is the holder.
- Data-source check. Where it is available for the customer's country and plan, eIDV can confirm identity details against trusted sources without a camera.
The date of birth comes from a verified document rather than from a model, so the result is a fact you can defend.
What the customer does
- Opens a verification link, or the check inside your app.
- Photographs their ID.
- Takes a selfie to confirm they are the holder.
- Gets a result in moments.
Privacy and data minimisation
Age checks should collect only what they need. Decide what you keep: for many use cases the result and a record of the check are enough. Read our security page and privacy policy, and ask us about retention for your account.
