Proof of Age Compliance
In the modern world, it is not sufficient to pay lip service to protecting minors from harm through proof of age verification, there is an increasing legal mandate to do so:
- The Gambling Act 2005 mandates customer age verification for internet gambling and lays the foundations for Licencing Conditions and Codes of Practice on social responsibility and age verification.
- The Health Act 2006 raises the legal age for sale of tobacco from 16 to 18 and makes it “illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 18”.
- The Violent Crime Reduction Act which enshrines customer age verification for the sale of alcohol, air weapons, imitation firearms, crossbows, knives and other weapons.
Whilst customer age verification is relatively easy in a physical customer environment, how does this work for a mail order or ecommerce model..?
Our identity verification technology verifies both age and identity during the ordering process in less than a second without impacting the customer experience.
