All use cases

Age Verification

Verify age compliance with a single selfie. No document upload, no lengthy forms. Fast, private, and accurate.

The Problem

Age gates don't work

A checkbox asking "Are you 18?" stops nobody. Regulations are tightening globally — from online gambling to alcohol delivery to age-restricted content. Businesses face fines and license revocations for serving minors. You need real age verification, not a checkbox.

The Solution

AI-powered age estimation from a selfie

OpenBiometrics uses deep learning to estimate age from a single face image. No ID upload needed for most cases. For high-confidence scenarios, combine with document verification for a complete solution. The process takes under 3 seconds.

How it works

1

Capture Selfie

The user takes a selfie using their phone or webcam. Our SDK provides a guided capture UI that ensures good image quality.

2

Liveness Check

Passive anti-spoofing ensures it's a live person, not a photo of someone else. This prevents minors from using an adult's picture.

3

Age Estimation

Our AI model estimates the person's age. You set the threshold (18, 21, 25) and receive a clear over/under decision along with confidence scores.

4

Fallback to Document

For borderline cases where the estimated age is close to the threshold, automatically escalate to document verification for definitive proof.
