The Challenge
The age of 13 is not a Verification
In 2024 alone, 33 states or countries changed their digital age of consent.
If your age gate is hardcoded to 13, you're out of compliance in most of the world.
Every country is different
COPPA says 13. GDPR varies from 13 to 16. Australia uses 15. Korea, Brazil, and dozens more set their own thresholds — and they keep changing.
Spreadsheets don't scale
Legal researches the thresholds, engineers hardcode them, and everyone hopes nothing changed since the last deploy.
States have rules too
California differs from Texas. 200+ jurisdictions including US state and EU member state subdivisions — updated monthly.
How It Works
One API call. Multi-method orchestration.
Cascades through verification methods until the user's age is confirmed.
Initiate
Call with jurisdiction and criteria. Returns a verification URL.
Present
Embed in iframe or webview. Methods adapt by jurisdiction automatically.
Fallback
Cascades through Face scan, ID scan, credit card — until the user passes.
Result
DOM events for UI updates. Webhooks or get-status API for server-side integrity.
