Socure’s Age Assurance Approach & Supporting OpenAge
Blog post from Socure
Growing global age-verification laws are prompting digital platforms to confirm users’ eligibility while minimizing personal-data collection and repeated identity checks. Socure proposes a layered age-assurance system that begins with low-friction passive methods, including device intelligence, phone possession verification, identity-graph matching, and limited PII checks against trusted international data sources, then escalates to selfie-based age estimation, barcode scans, or document-and-selfie verification when regulations or risks require stronger evidence. The approach aims to provide proportional assurance, reducing user drop-off and unnecessary exposure of sensitive information while allowing platforms to meet regional compliance requirements. Socure also supports OpenAge and its AgeKey credential, which enables users who have completed a higher-assurance check to reuse an anonymous, portable yes-or-no age eligibility result across participating services without revealing underlying personal data or verification details.
