Age Assurance
Age Checks That Don’t Treat Every Adult Like a Suspect
Shufti runs three verification paths, facial estimation, docless eIDV, and document-based DOB extraction, in a single configurable flow, so you stop underage access without creating friction that drives adult users away.
Age Assurance Built for Regulators and Users
Age Proof That Holds Up
A checkbox no longer satisfies global age rules. Shufti creates audit-ready evidence for each check, including method, confidence result, liveness status, and timestamp, so teams can prove compliance across markets.
Fast Checks for Legitimate Users
Age checks lose users when every adult faces heavy verification. Shufti starts docless, clears most users through facial estimation in under 5 seconds, and steps up only when confidence or policy requires stronger proof.
Liveness Built Into Every Path
Borrowed IDs and spoofing break document-only checks. Shufti adds liveness to estimation, docless, and document flows, using face-match and spoof detection to block replay, photo, and borrowed-ID attempts.
Explore the Stack
Everything You Need to Verify Age and Block Bypass
Verify age in seconds, across any method
Use facial estimation, docless eIDV, or document checks in one configurable flow, with risk thresholds, fallback rules, and jurisdiction-specific policies built in.
-
Age Verification
Run estimation-first age assurance that steps up to document or database verification only when confidence or regulation requires it. Configurable thresholds (18+, 21+, or market-specific) apply consistently across all three paths.
-
Facial Biometrics
Analyse facial biometrics from a selfie to return an above/below age-band result in under 3 seconds. iBeta-certified liveness blocks photo spoofing and injection attacks during the estimation step.
-
Document Verification
Extract date of birth from any government-issued document types across 250+ countries with 98%+ OCR accuracy. Forensic checks validate the document is real before the DOB is trusted.
-
eIDV
Confirm age eligibility against government databases, eID schemes, and authoritative data sources, without a physical document. Supports passive verification (background check) and active verification (bank login, national eID).
-
NFC Verification
For ePassport and NFC-enabled national ID verification, read chip-stored DOB and cryptographically verify it has not been altered, the strongest evidence path when age assurance must meet the highest-assurance regulatory standard.
Stop the bypass attempts your document check alone won’t catch
Layer behavioural signals, device intelligence, and risk scoring on top of age checks to catch borrowed IDs, bot-driven sign-ups, and shared-account abuse that estimation or document verification alone misses.
-
Behavioral Biometrics
Detects bot-driven age verification attempts and automated bypass tools during the estimation or document capture step. Flags emulator-based submissions before the user reaches the verification point.
-
Device Fingerprinting
Identify the device submitting each age check. Flag virtual machines, spoofed device attributes, and devices previously linked to age bypass attempts across your platform.
-
1:1 Authentication
For returning users and re-verification events, match a live selfie against the biometric enrolled at the original age check. 1:N search across 10M+ records flags duplicate account creation across age-restricted platforms.
-
Fraud Hub
Check multiple fraud signals in real time during the age verification flow, injection attempts, device behaviour, document forensics, and biometrics, without adding extra steps for genuine users.

Detect Every Fraud Type Targeting Your Platform
Deepfake
AI-generated faces and synthetically forged documents bypass legacy liveness checks at scale. Shufti’s passive liveness & document forensics detects synthetic media before it reaches your onboarding flow.
Identity Fraud
Credential theft, blended synthetic identities, and manipulated documents exploit gaps in manual review. Shufti’s layered verification surfaces fraud signals before accounts are created.
Account & Platform Abuse
Duplicate registrations, bot-driven sign-ups, and referral exploits erode platform economics. Shufti links device, identity, and behavioural signals to flag abuse rings at scale.
Transaction & Payment Fraud
False chargeback claims, money mule networks, and sanctions evasion expose your business to financial and regulatory risk. Shufti ties identity verification directly to transaction context.
How it works
How Shufti Checks Age Without Over-Collecting Data
01
STEP 01
Estimation Runs First
User submits a selfie. Shufti’s facial age estimation returns an age-band result, above or below the configured threshold, in under 5 seconds. No document required. No date of birth stored.
02
STEP 02
Docless Step-Up If Confidence Requires It
If estimation confidence falls below the configured minimum, Shufti routes the user automatically to docless eIDV, a live government-database lookup, eID schemes, or national records, with no document upload from the user.
03
STEP 03
Document Verification for High-Assurance Requirements
When the policy demands document-based age proof, Shufti extracts DOB from the document, validates authenticity, checks liveness, and runs biometric face-match against 150k+ known fraud patterns across 230+ countries and 12k+ document types.
04
STEP 04
An Audit-Ready Decision Is Returned
Shufti returns a single verification result, age band, method used, confidence score, liveness status, and applicable framework (OSA, DSA, KJM, COPPA, AVMSD). The full evidence package is available for regulator inspection at any time.

Don't just take our word for it, hear from our customers
The Confidence Our Clients Share
The future of digital identity is defined by trust, interoperability, and regulatory alignment, so our partnership with Shufti reinforces DevCode Identity's commitment to supporting our global customers with the most secure, best-in-class, complaints identity verification solutions available today.
Combining our Conversion Driven Compliance Orchestration Platform with Shufti's global KYC and IDV capabilities allows our customers not only to navigate complex regulatory demands but also to maintain a seamless customer onboarding experience with the highest achievable conversion rates.
Shufti gives us verification journeys we can trust across every market we serve. The ability to route players through passive database checks, eID authentication, and full biometric liveness — all behind one API — has reshaped how we think about onboarding compliance.
Their team acts like an extension of ours. When regulators added new requirements across two European markets, Shufti’s journey builder let us adapt in days, not months.
FXBO customers demand speed without compromising AML rigour. Shufti’s eIDV fits exactly there — high-assurance verification for large deposits, invisible background checks for everything else, and one compliance trail across the board.
Integration took a single sprint. The SDK handled the full journey, so our product team stayed focused on trading features instead of building KYC screens.
As a regulated European payments platform, we need identity verification that meets eIDAS 2.0 and AMLD6 without multi-vendor stitching. Shufti delivers both — native eID authentication for high-assurance markets and docless database checks where eIDs don’t reach.
One contract, one audit log. That changes the compliance conversation entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What verification checks are included in the onboarding flow?
A standard flow includes document verification, biometric face matching with liveness detection, and AML screening against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media databases. Each check is configurable, add or remove steps based on your regulatory requirements and risk appetite.
How long does a typical verification take?
Most verifications complete in under 15 seconds. Low-risk profiles routed through automated decisioning are typically processed in under 10 seconds. High-risk cases escalated to enhanced due diligence may take longer.
Which regulations does the onboarding flow help satisfy?
The flow satisfies KYC and CDD requirements under 6AMLD (EU), FinCEN CDD Rule (US), MAS Notice 626 (Singapore), AUSTRAC (Australia), and FCA guidelines (UK). Verification depth can be configured per jurisdiction.
How does Shufti detect synthetic and deep fake documents?
Multi-layer document forensics analyse template structure, font consistency, security features, and AI-generated artifact patterns. Biometric liveness detection identifies presentation attacks including deepfake selfies and injection attacks.
How long does integration take?
Most teams complete integration within 1–2 weeks. A sandbox is available on signup, and the first verification API call can be made within 4 hours. Pre-built mobile SDKs reduce development time further.
