Key takeaways
- Most journeys only need a threshold proof, not a stored date of birth
- Checkify returns a yes/no age proof after the user approves on their device
- Start with one high-risk flow — checkout, registration, or content access
Many businesses only need to know whether someone meets an age threshold — not archive their date of birth forever.
The DOB problem
Traditional age gates often push users through document uploads or form fields that create long-term data liability. Checkify returns a yes/no age proof after the user approves on their device.
What the business receives
The merchant receives an auditable result tied to the verification session. Raw passport images and DOB are not required in your database by default.
Where to start
Start with one high-risk flow — checkout, registration, or content access — then expand proof types as your compliance team defines them.
Start with one age-gated journey
Request an age threshold proof for checkout, registration, or content access — without designing your product around date-of-birth storage.
