Age verification that respects privacy.
Customers prove they are 18+ using their EU Digital Identity Wallet. One tap, no personal data collected, no friction. Compliant with EU regulations from day one.
Age verification is broken
Selling age-restricted products online means navigating regulations, frustrated customers, and clunky verification flows.
Privacy concerns
Existing solutions ask customers to upload ID documents or selfies — collecting far more personal data than necessary. Customers abandon their cart.
Regulation pressure
The EU is tightening age verification requirements for alcohol, tobacco, vapes, and more. Self-declared age checkboxes no longer cut it.
Conversion loss
Clunky third-party verification flows break the checkout experience. Every redirect, every form field, every upload is a lost sale.
One tap. Verified. No data collected.
The EU Digital Identity Wallet lets customers prove they are over 18 without revealing their name, birthdate, or any other personal information.

How it works
Customer visits your store
They browse to an age-restricted product. Your store shows the age verification prompt — seamlessly embedded in the page.
Wallet opens
The customer taps 'Verify Age' and their EU Digital Identity Wallet opens. They see exactly what's being requested: proof of being 18+.
One tap to confirm
The customer authorizes with Face ID, fingerprint, or PIN. Their wallet sends a cryptographic proof — just the boolean, nothing else.
Verified, continue shopping
The proof is verified in milliseconds. The customer continues to checkout without interruption. No accounts, no redirects, no waiting.
