How secure is the OneID® Age Verification process?

Very secure. OneID uses an OTP (one-time-password) to ensure the customer's presence and ownership of the device connected to that mobile number. This is a low-friction, fast and accurate way of confirming their age. If we can't find the customer with the network, we take them to our standard bank verification process.

Is OneID® a certified Age Verification platform?

OneID® is compliant with PAS:1296:2018 and certified under the Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS).

What information are you using to verify someone's age?

For a low-friction, high-accuracy age verification, OneID connects to your customer's Mobile Network Operator to verify that your customer is over 18 years old. We do not share a date of birth, only confirmation that the user is over 18.

How easy is it to integrate OneID® Age Verification into my store, website or service?

OneID® can be installed in minutes on the Shopify and WooCommerce eCommerce platform. For bespoke integrations, typically you can test in our sandbox in half a day. For more information see our Developer Documentation.
