The MyProof age verification API proves that a user is over an age threshold such as 18, 21, or 25 without collecting a birthdate. It is built for regulated age gates that need pass or fail results instead of raw ID data.
Frequently asked questions
What age thresholds can the API verify?
MyProof can verify common thresholds like over 18, over 21, and over 25, plus custom thresholds when a policy requires them. The customer proves the threshold from their government ID without sending the birthdate to your server.
Does MyProof store the customer's birthdate?
No. The birthdate is read and evaluated on the customer's phone. Your system receives the age-threshold result and a receipt reference, not the birthdate or full ID data.
Which age-gated industries is this built for?
The API is built for regulated age gates such as alcohol delivery, cannabis, online gambling, adult content, ticketed events, and any product flow that needs an 18, 21, or 25 plus decision.
Can age checks be combined with state rules?
Yes. Age is one predicate in the broader MyProof identity verification API. A policy can require an age threshold and a state residency result in the same verification when both are needed.
Can users verify age with a driver's license or passport?
Yes. MyProof can verify age from supported driver's licenses and passports. Document processing happens on the device, and the business receives only the policy result.
