We’re excited to announce a game-changing update to our Age Verification Service: Trusted Adult Verification is now available as a standalone API. This new offering empowers you to seamlessly integrate geo-adaptive parental verification into your own user flows — with minimal effort and full control.

Whether you’re building for compliance, trust & safety, or product personalisation, this modular API gives you the flexibility to verify parental status exactly where and when you need it — parental verification, on your terms.

Why We Built This

Previously, Trusted Adult Verification was bundled exclusively within our full Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC) solution (provided through our Age Gate API). In that setup, when our Age Gate API detected a Digital Minor, we handled the entire consent journey:

• Triggering consent challenges

• Providing direct notices

• Capturing data processing consent

• Securing permission approvals

• Verifying parental authority

While this full-stack approach remains available (and continues to serve as a gold standard for many), we heard your feedback: you want more modularity and customisation.

With our new Trusted Adult Verification API, you can now decouple parental verification from our broader VPC flow. Use it as a standalone component to support your existing age checks, onboarding flows, or custom parental experiences, without rearchitecting your stack.

What You Get

With our standalone API, you get just the parental verification piece, and all the benefits that come with it:

🔌 Modular, Developer-Friendly Integration

Already have your own age gate, consent journey or user flow? Plug our API directly into your flow to verify parental status with minimal lift. Use only what fits your stack; the rest is up to you.

🌍 Geo-Adaptive by Default

Our API automatically selects the appropriate verification method based on user location, so you stay compliant with local legal requirements without maintaining any jurisdiction-specific logic.

🛠️ Versatile Use Cases

Beyond legal compliance, use Trusted Adult Verification to power parent dashboards, controls, or any feature where confirming adult status is valuable — even if not strictly required by law.

How It Works

Integrating the Trusted Adult Verification API is straightforward and consistent with the rest of our Age Verification service, making it easy to adopt.

Here’s a sample request body to the endpoint POST /age-verification/perform-trusted-adult-verification:

{
  "jurisdiction": "US-CA",
  "subject": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "id": "id-12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"
  }
}

And here’s a sample successful response:

{
  "id": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012",
  "url": "https://example.com/verify"
}

The API applies the appropriate verification method based on the user’s location. Once verified, adult status can be reused across sessions to reduce friction and improve user experience.

This geo-adaptive approach lets you expand globally with confidence, without rebuilding your verification flows for each market.
