With Yoti’s automated age verification, your staff can save time and confidently ensure that only age-appropriate customers purchase restricted items. Use age estimation to triage age checks, automatically approving customers over 30 with 100% accuracy, then offering digital ID verification for younger customers.

Vending machines, kiosks and lockers

Any device with a good quality camera and a screen can allow all over 18 customers to collect age restricted goods. Users over 30 can use facial age estimation with 100% confidence they are over 18. Younger customers can scan a QR code to share an anonymous 18+ only attribute from their pre-verified reusable digital ID.

Online

Give your customers multiple ways to verify their age when purchasing age-restricted goods online. Tailor these options based on regional regulations to ensure compliance. By offering a choice of verification methods, you can maximize conversion rates while meeting legal requirements​.

Facial age estimation

We match the user’s ID document and a selfie to anonymously confirm if the person is over 18. Liveness checks ensure it’s a real person and not a deepfake, bot or spoof attempt.
