VerifyMyAge is a B2B age assurance platform used by online merchants and publishers to restrict access to age-gated goods (e.g., alcohol, e‑cigarettes/vapes, knives) and content (e.g., adult content). It typically operates as a browser-based verification step triggered at checkout or site entry, offering multiple verification methods (e.g., email link flows, database/phone checks, AI age estimation, ID document scan, credit-card based checks—method availability varies by integration and jurisdiction). The company positions the product to reduce user friction while meeting UK/European age assurance requirements.
A core operational model (based on vendor support documentation) is that the end user completes verification either:
- **in-browser on the website** when accessing age-restricted content, or
- **via an emailed verification link** after purchasing an age-restricted product. The vendor explicitly states it **cannot complete verification manually** and asks users **not to email IDs**. (Official support article, updated March 16, 2026.)
