Implementing an age verification solution for online alcohol sales is a necessary part of your licence application. In order to help facilitate the safe and compliant sale of alcohol online we partner with VerifyMyAge.
VerifyMyAge provides a seamless age verification solution for your online business. It allows you to frictionlessly age verify your customers, without distracting them from their purchase.
How online age verification works
Your customers can either verify their age directly – within their browser post-checkout – or indirectly through an email or SMS. VerifyMyAge uses a broad range of data, and is therefore able to achieve a verification pass rate of 99.8%. What’s more, once a customer has been age verified, they will not be required to do so again on any other site that also partners with VerifyMyAge.
Age verification methods
VerifyMyAge checks with third-party databases, to verify your customer’s age without interrupting their shopping experience. When this isn’t possible, the customer has several other quick and easy methods to choose from.
- Mobile phone verification: By sending a text to a UK mobile number, we verify the phone is authorised for use by a person aged 18+.
- AI-powered age estimation: After taking a short selfie video, artificial intelligence indicates whether your customer is aged 25+.
- Passport or driver’s license scan: We verify your customers’ age and identity using their scanned government ID or driver’s license.
- Credit card: We verify the cardholder is 18+ using their credit card records.
