Presenting a proof of age attestation
When the user wants to access an age-restricted service, they are required to present a valid Proof of Age Attestation before being granted access. For demonstration purposes, a public verifier is available at verifier.ageverification.dev, which can be used to test the process.
To begin verification, the user either opens their Age Verification App or scans the verifier’s QR code directly with the device’s camera. Upon scanning, the app recognizes that a Proof of Age is being requested and displays a prompt indicating that an age verification is required for the selected service.
The user is then given the option to approve the request. To ensure security and user consent, the app asks for PIN or biometric confirmation (such as face recognition). Once the user confirms, the necessary data is securely transmitted to the verifier service.
The verifier receives the Proof of Age Attestation, validates its authenticity and trust status, using the AV Trusted List and then displays the result of the verification process. This allows both the user and the service provider to see immediately whether the age verification has been successful.
