🧾 Age Data

OneID® offers a suite of age verification products, each tailored to return different levels of age data and meet varying GPG45 confidence requirements.

🔐 Verification Methods

📱 Mobile Network:

• 18+ only: Users enter their mobile number, receive a one-time passcode (OTP), and consent to share a confirmation that they are 18+ with your business. This is the fastest age check available with a coverage of approximately 76 million UK users across major MNOs.
• 18+ and user data: Users enter their mobile number, receive an OTP, and input their full name, date of birth, and address. OneID® checks this data against MNO records. Upon a successful match, users consent to share it with your business.
