If you’re building a platform that needs age verification, but you’re waiting on our API release — don’t pause your roadmap. Age Layer already works.
In fact, we’ve designed our system to be usable without any code at all.
This guide will show you how to verify users, enforce access control, and remain compliant — even without touching a single line of backend logic.
When you onboard with Age Layer, we generate a secure, branded verification form tailored to your platform. You can:
Users upload a selfie and an image of their government-issued ID. Our human review team checks for age validity — and users receive a reusable passcode upon approval.
Once verified, users are issued a passcode — a short alphanumeric code that proves they’ve passed Age Layer’s review.
You can ask users to:
You can also pre-verify a list of known passcodes on your side, or contact us for help integrating lightweight checks.
Each verified passcode is logged in your private Age Layer dashboard. You can:

But many of the platforms we serve are:
So we flipped the model. Age Layer works before you touch your backend. And when you’re ready to integrate more deeply, we’ll be there too.
If you’re building an adult platform, a crypto app, a private community, or anything that needs a reliable age check — you don’t need to wait.
We’ll have you live in 24–48 hours.
