Age verification that doesn't require a date of birth

T3 Verify proves a user meets an age threshold without collecting, storing, or transmitting the underlying date of birth.

The problem

You're collecting a date of birth you'll never need again

Platforms only need one answer: is this user old enough? The date of birth behind that answer has no ongoing business purpose, yet most platforms store it, creating a compliance liability that grows over time.

Data collected once, liable forever

Storing a date of birth means managing it for GDPR data subject requests, securing it against breach, and navigating data residency requirements. None of those obligations existed before the collection event.

Self-declaration has no compliance posture

Most age gates are bypassed by typing a false date. Regulators — ICO, FTC, EU under the AADC — are moving toward verified, not declared, age. Platforms that rely on checkbox consent have no defensible compliance position.

ID upload abandonment kills conversion

Asking users to upload a passport or driver's license introduces friction at the moment that matters most: sign-up. Verification flows that require document upload see significantly higher abandonment than proof-based flows.

The solution

Age verification that proves without disclosing, and secures without storing

Prove age without revealing it

A cryptographic proof confirms the user meets the age threshold. The platform receives a pass or fail result, without a date of birth, a scan, or a file to store and eventually delete.

No PII to breach, no compliance liability to manage

T3 stores nothing after the credential is issued. There is no date of birth in T3's infrastructure to produce for a data subject access request, secure against breach, or manage for data residency requirements.

Works across every threshold and jurisdiction

Whether the gate is 13, 16, 18, or 21, T3 Verify is configurable for any eligibility threshold. The same infrastructure handles COPPA-regulated platforms, gaming, alcohol retail, and financial services.

One credential, reusable across platforms

A user verified once carries a credential they present on any T3-integrated platform. No re-upload, no repeated friction at the conversion point that matters most.

Features

The tools that power age verification

T3 Verify handles issuance, proof generation, and verification, with nothing stored after the check.

Verification converts into a credential rather than a stored record

T3 Verify issues a signed age credential after identity verification. The credential asserts the user meets the threshold. No date of birth is retained. The platform receives a proof, not a data file. Nothing is stored in T3's infrastructure after issuance.

Built on open standards

Privacy-preserving age verification at scale

W3C Verifiable Credentials

Age credentials follow the W3C VC data model. Any platform running OpenID for VCs can accept them with no proprietary SDK or bilateral integration required.

Zero-knowledge proof architecture

The age check executes as a ZK proof: the claim (user is over 18) is verified without the verifier learning the underlying date of birth. Privacy is structural, not a policy setting.

Quantum-resistant signing

Credentials are signed using FIPS 204 post-quantum cryptography. Age credentials remain valid against future cryptographic threats, including harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.

For developers

Integrate zero-data age verification into your platform

One API call returns a pass/fail result. No date of birth transmitted, no record stored, no consent trail to manage.

Security & compliance

Built for platforms operating under strict data minimization requirements

We take security seriously and have implemented robust measures to protect your data.

T3's zero-data architecture means no PII about minors or adults is stored after the credential is issued. Under COPPA, no personal information from children under 13 is collected or retained. Under GDPR, there is no stored date of birth to erase, no data to produce for access requests, and no residency requirement to manage, because T3 holds no underlying personal data.
Any threshold. T3 Verify can be configured for 13, 16, 18, 21, or any custom eligibility requirement. Multiple thresholds can run in the same deployment. For example, a gaming platform can run separate checks for 13+ free-to-play access and 18+ features simultaneously.
Users complete a one-time verification through T3's SDK or a compatible identity provider. They receive a credential in their digital wallet. When accessing an age-gated platform, they present the credential with no re-upload, no repeated document entry, and no friction beyond the initial check.
Issuers can revoke credentials at any time, for example if fraud is detected or a user's eligibility status changes. Revocation is immediate: the next presentation of that credential fails automatically without requiring re-contact with the user or the accepting platform.
