Age Verification
Age Verification Built For Every Jurisdiction

Verify Age Before Risk Reaches Your Platform
A Multi-Mode Waterfall Built for Real-World Risk
Disconnected checks duplicate effort and slows users down. Shufti connects every step so each one depends on the result of the step before.
Different regions and risk levels need different rules. Shufti lets you configure how the flow runs, when to escalate, and which checks apply where, all from one dashboard.
Multi-method verification usually means multiple integrations and agreements. Shufti deploys with one setup and one contract, built to fit your rules.
Layered Defenses. Single Decision
Static photos and screen replays can fool basic age checks. Shufti applies liveness detection to reduce spoofing at the moment of verification.
A valid ID proves nothing if it does not belong to the person presenting it. Shufti matches the document to the live user to prevent impersonation.
Bad actors retry checks until they slip through. Shufti adds document authenticity signals at the appropriate stage to stop repeat-attempt cycling.
Fully Proprietary End-to-End Technology
Outsourced verification layers leave gaps in ownership and quality control. Shufti's entire age verification stack is built and maintained in-house.
Multi-vendor stacks slow performance and reduces accuracy. Shufti's unified architecture delivers higher accuracy, faster performance, and complete control.
Multiple sub-processors mean multiple audit narratives to defend. With Shufti, you demonstrate one accountable system and one transparent architecture to regulators.

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 are the three verification methods and when is each used?
Shufti offers selfie-only age estimation (sub-5-second decision, no document required), ID-document plus liveness (the regulator-grade fallback), and reusable digital identity credentials where available. The platform routes each user through the lightest method that meets the policy threshold for that jurisdiction and content category.
How does Shufti age-verify under-18s?
A selfie-based estimator returns an age range with a confidence score in under 5 seconds. If the estimate is below the legal threshold or confidence is low, the journey escalates to ID + liveness automatically — without restarting the session.
What triggers the step-up from estimation to proof?
Three things: (1) the selfie estimate sits within a configurable buffer of the threshold, (2) device or behavioural signals raise risk, or (3) the regulator for that content category requires hard proof regardless of estimation. All three are tunable per jurisdiction.
Does Shufti meet Ofcom's Online Safety Act key requirements?
Yes. Shufti is recognised in Ofcom's "highly effective" age-assurance categories, supports the documented evidence trail for protected categories, and is iBeta Level 3 certified — the level Ofcom expects for adult content gating.
Can different age rules be set by jurisdiction?
Yes. Per-region thresholds are configured in the dashboard — UK 18+, US 21+ for alcohol, EU age-of-consent variants, country-specific gambling minimums. Shufti routes each user through the right policy automatically based on detected jurisdiction.
What certifications does Shufti hold?
iBeta Level 3 (passive liveness, the strictest tier), ISO 27001:2022, PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR Article 28 processor compliant, and Ranked Exceptional in the Liminal Index Report 2026 for both Age Estimation and Age Verification.
Keep Underage Users Out. Keep Data Collection Minimal.
Choose the right level of age assurance for each user journey, from low-friction checks to stronger verification when policy or regulation demands it.
