How it works

VerifyMy offers the usual age methods (facial estimation, ID document, credit card, mobile carrier lookup) plus one unusual one: email age estimation. Give it an email address and it checks how long that address has appeared in public records and account signups, then returns a confidence that the owner is over 18. It's invisible to the user, so it works well as a first pass before you ask for a selfie or a document.

It's a hosted API and web flow. You pick which methods to chain, and it escalates only when a cheaper check is inconclusive. VerifyMy is UK based and leans into Online Safety Act and adult content compliance, with certifications for the UK's age check standards.
