# ProofAge

> Age verification API for online platforms. Built by IT Brains SASU (France). ProofAge helps platforms run document-based age checks, white-label verification flows, reusable customer verification states, and duplicate-account controls through a developer-friendly API and prebuilt packages.

## What We Do

ProofAge is an API-first document age verification service with additional lower-friction options for selected flows:

- **Document-Based Age Verification**: Government ID checks for age-gated and regulated flows, including passports, national IDs, driver's licenses, and residence permits from 190+ countries
- **Selfie-Based Age Estimation**: Lower-friction age checks for flows that do not require document capture
- **Duplicate Account Detection**: Helps identify the same person across multiple accounts using biometric and document signals
- **Repeat Offender Prevention**: Supports policies for reviewing or blocking users who attempt to re-enter after prior enforcement actions
- **Regulated Ecommerce Checkout Verification**: Supports tobacco, vape, alcohol, CBD, adult, and weapons catalogs with white-label age checks running between cart and payment, plus Shopify, WooCommerce, and headless API integration paths
