Sumsub Age Verification Services

A fast and secure age verification service for your app, website and kiosk

Some people can watch your adult content, buy your regulated products and commission your services. But some people can consume you up to ___ for non-compliance with the minimum age restrictions. Sumsub’s age verification lets you keep pace with the changing regulations in all your important markets, impressing users with short and pleasant onboarding experiences.

What makes our

Age Verification

The system extracts date of birth from ID documents, and defines the applicant’s current age. Other data, like name, address, document number and residentship, are also checked and available for future tasks at any time.

Fraud Prevention

It’s time to stop even the most sophisticated of fraudsters. We detect the intervention of graphic editors, perform face liveness detection and face matching to to ensure the authenticity of the individual. For extra protection, the system performs a cross-check with our internal blocklist of compromised persons (names, documents, “one document, different faces” fakes, etc.). Not only this, but we also check IP addresses, the darknet, adverse media and much more.

Chargeback protection

Ensure that a credit card or an e-wallet belongs to the user, while making sure that bank transfers have been approved by the relevant account holders, all before a transaction is made.

KYC & AML compliance

Safeguard your reputation in front of regulators, banks and merchants with fully compliant KYC/AML policies and processes.
