Whether you’re hosting a one-night-only event or selling age-restricted goods at a festival stall, Age Layer gives you a fast, compliant way to confirm age — no expensive hardware or complex integrations required.
Use us when
You need a way to verify a customer’s age before they gain entry or complete a purchase
You're running a limited-time activation, launch, or tour with age-restricted access
You're operating in a fringe category where other providers won’t touch you — think alternative wellness, adult-themed retail, or controversial art/performance events
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
No hardware — use QR codes or send verification links ahead of time
No app download — just a mobile browser and camera
No repeat checks — customers who’ve already verified with Age Layer can reuse their passcode at other participating events or retailers
Real-world examples
Age-gated retail booths at conventions or expos
On-location adult wellness or intimacy product sales
Entry validation for 18+ art installations, theatre, or nightlife events
Compliance support for mobile or pop-up alcohol vendors

Human-reviewed
Not automated — so edge cases and nuanced documents are handled properly
Designed for privacy
With optional redaction and no data storage after verification
Friendly to alternative industries
No puritanical filters or vague terms of service
