Age checks your customers never notice
Verify UK shoppers against 120 million person–address records in under a second - silently, at checkout. No ID uploads. No selfies. No abandoned baskets.
Checkout 1 × Chef's knife · £89.00
A real background check via our API - the shopper simply sees their order confirmed.
Age-restricted selling is now a compliance issue, not a checkbox
Regulators expect robust, auditable age assurance at the point of sale. AgeVerifyUK gives you a defensible record for every order, without adding a single step for your customer.
Ofcom-era age assurance
Platforms and retailers face active enforcement around access to age-restricted goods and services. Demonstrate a proportionate, effective age check on every relevant transaction.
Knives & bladed products
Online knife sales require age verification at purchase and delivery. Our data-matching check screens every order before it ships, with an auditable result code.
Alcohol, vapes & tobacco
Meet your due-diligence obligations for licensed and restricted products with a documented check against the Electoral Roll and trusted UK data sources.
Three ways to verify
However you sell, there’s a fit
Use whichever suits your workflow - or mix all three. Every check draws on the same 120 million UK person–address records, including previous addresses.
API integration
Integrate our API methods so that instant age checks are performed in the background when customers reach your online checkout. REST API with JSON responses, fuzzy matching and sandbox mode.
Read the developer guide →Single checks online
No integration needed. Log in to your dashboard and verify one customer at a time - ideal for phone orders, flagged transactions and manual review.
Create an account →Bulk CSV verification
Log in to your dashboard to easily verify ages in bulk. Upload CSV files for fast, secure age verification of multiple users at once. Preview results before you pay.

Frictionless beats ID upload
Document-based verification asks your customer to stop, find their passport and take a selfie. Most won’t. Data matching verifies the details they’ve already typed into your checkout.
| At the checkout | AgeVerifyUK data matching | ID document upload |
|---|---|---|
| Extra steps for the shopper | None - runs in the background | Upload document + selfie |
| Typical check time | Under a second | Minutes, sometimes manual review |
| Basket abandonment risk | Minimal | Significant drop-off |
| Personal data you hold | Name & address you already collect | Identity documents & biometrics |
| Repeat customers | Verify once, remember the result | Often re-verified |
