Proof of age, without handing over the ID.
AltVerify checks a member's government ID and face, then tells your community one thing: verified adult, or not. The community gets the answer. It never gets the document.
How it works
Three steps, and the ID never leaves the member's hands.
The member shows their ID
They photograph the front and back of a government ID on their own phone or computer. Nothing is handed across a desk or emailed to anyone.
A live capture confirms it is theirs
A short live face capture is matched against the photo on the ID, so a borrowed card or a picture of a picture does not pass.
The community gets the answer
Your community is told one thing: this person is a verified adult, or they are not. That is all it needs, so that is all it gets.
What crosses over
Your community holds the answer, not the liability.
Your community receives

How we work
Built to be trusted by the people being checked.
Rules, not guesses
Every pass or fail comes from fixed checks: check digits, exact matches and set thresholds. The same ID gives the same result every time, and every decision can be explained.
Read three ways
The printed text, the machine-readable data on the card, and the live face each have to agree with the others. One of them alone is not enough.
Not kept forever
ID photos and face captures are deleted after a fixed retention period. They are there to answer one question, not to build a file on anyone.
Encrypted throughout
Uploads travel over an encrypted connection and are stored on encrypted disks, in a system that holds nothing else.
