Age verification without storing date of birth

Many businesses only need to know whether someone meets an age threshold — not archive their date of birth forever.

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.

The merchant receives an auditable result tied to the verification session. Raw passport images and DOB are not required in your database by default.

Start with one high-risk flow — checkout, registration, or content access — then expand proof types as your compliance team defines them.
