How it works

You can send users to a hosted Age Layer verification flow or integrate our verification widget into your own page.

1

Your customer submits their ID and selfie via a secure mobile link

(QR code, email, or web embed)

2

A trained reviewer verifies the submission in minutes

3

A one-time passcode is issued

which your team checks at the door, checkout, or collection point

Built for discretion

We only need to see what’s necessary to confirm the customer is over the required age.

Users can redact personal details like name and address — our reviewers just need to see a clear face, date of birth, and a valid document.

Fast, lightweight, ready when you are
