Age Assurance
Age assurance that fits the risk
Not every age check needs an identity check.
Traditional age verification can force customers through the same process regardless of the level of assurance actually required.
Veritage VantAGE takes a different approach.
Choose between age inference, AI-powered age estimation and verified age depending on the customer journey, level of risk and assurance you need.
Start with the least intrusive method. Step up when greater confidence is required.
Simple for your customers. Stronger assurance when it matters.
Understand likely age without interrupting the customer journey.
Use AI to estimate age from a facial image without needing to establish identity.
Verify age using trusted identity documents or credentials held in digital wallets.
Age Inference
Features
Let the journey tell you more
Not every interaction needs an explicit age check.
VantAGE Age Inference uses signals available within the customer journey to build an indication of whether a user is likely to fall within the required age range.
Multiple signals can contribute to an age confidence assessment, helping you identify when a user can continue and when another form of age assurance should be requested.
- No identity document required
- Runs with minimal customer interruption
- Step up when confidence is not enough
Intelligent signals, not a single guess
Age inference becomes more useful when signals are considered together.
VantAGE can combine available contextual, behavioural and account signals into an age confidence assessment rather than relying on one piece of information in isolation.
Your business sets the level of confidence it needs. VantAGE helps determine when additional assurance is appropriate.
- Proportionate to the level of risk
- Designed to reduce unnecessary checks
- A natural first step in an age assurance journey
Age assurance built around your business
Different industries, interactions and levels of risk require different approaches to age.
Use low-friction inference when an indication is enough. Use AI estimation when you need greater confidence without identity. Use document or wallet verification when you need verified proof.
VantAGE gives you one age assurance layer that can adapt to different industries, interactions and levels of risk.
AI that understands age
When you need greater confidence without asking someone to prove their identity, VantAGE Age Estimation uses artificial intelligence to estimate age from a facial image.
The customer simply presents their face. AI analyses the image and returns an age estimate that can be evaluated against the threshold required for your service.
No identity document. No date of birth. No need to establish who the person is.
- Fast and effortless for customers
- No document required
- Keeps age and identity separate
Accuracy you can measure
Not all age estimation technology performs equally.
VantAGE uses advanced AI designed specifically for face age estimation (FAE), with performance considered against recognised measures for age estimation and threshold decisions.
NIST’s Face Analysis Technology Evaluation provides an independent framework for assessing age estimation technologies across millions of images, looking beyond a simple average to measures such as estimation error, false-positive rates, false-negative rates, demographics and image conditions.
VantAGE uses face age technology proven to work so you can make age decisions with a level of confidence appropriate to your service.
- Performance-led age estimation
- Confidence around age thresholds
- Built for real-world age assurance
Ask the age question you actually need answered
Most businesses do not need to know someone’s exact date of birth.
VantAGE lets you build age assurance around the decision your business needs to make, rather than collecting more personal information than the interaction requires.
Is this person is old enough?
- Is this person over 13?
- Are they over 16?
- Are they over 18?
- Are they over 21?
Confidence where the threshold matters
Knowing an estimated age is useful. Knowing how confidently someone clears your required threshold is better.
VantAGE can use age estimation as part of a challenge-based journey.
Someone comfortably above the required threshold can continue with minimal friction. Where the estimated age is too close to the threshold, VantAGE can ask for a higher-assurance method instead.
This gives you a practical balance between convenience and confidence.
- Reduce unnecessary document checks
- Step up around the threshold
- Match friction to risk
When you need to know
Some interactions require more than an estimate.
VantAGE Age Verification allows customers to prove their age using trusted evidence, with different verification methods available depending on the level of assurance required.
Verify using an identity document or allow customers to share trusted age information from a supported digital identity wallet.
You get stronger assurance without forcing every customer through the highest-friction journey.
- Document-based verification
- Digital wallet verification
- High-assurance age checks
Documents you can trust
Physical identity documents remain one of the most widely available ways to establish verified age.
VantAGE can use trusted information from supported identity documents to establish date of birth and determine whether the customer meets your required age threshold.
AI-powered checks help detect signs of document manipulation and fraud, giving you greater confidence that the evidence being presented can be trusted.
Customers prove their age using something they already have, while VantAGE handles the complexity behind the scenes.
- Verified date of birth
- Step up around the threshold
- High-assurance document checks
The highest assurance, without the highest friction
Digital identity wallets change what age verification can look like.
When a customer holds an appropriate government-issued digital credential, VantAGE can request trusted age information directly from their wallet.
Instead of photographing a document and extracting information from it, the customer can share a digitally verifiable credential from its source.
For age-restricted interactions, this can allow the customer to prove the fact that matters, such as being over 18, without unnecessarily handing over their complete identity.
Strong assurance becomes a simpler customer experience.
- Government-issued digital credentials
- Cryptographically verifiable
- Share age without sharing everything
