AgeChecked uses data matching, credit reference checks, electoral rolls, facial age estimation, document verification with liveness detection and adult-linked credit card checks in a cascading process.

Strengths

Low-friction UX: Instant match from known records; minimal user input required for key retail, gambling and online marketplaces No
Biometric or ID Upload Needed: Suitable for users without access to conventional ID.

Summary of Results

AgeChecked exemplified how record-based age verification can offer high assurance while respecting privacy. It successfully matched user data against trusted databases, avoiding excessive data collection. Its design supports regulatory compliance, rapid deployment and strong fallback mechanisms, making it well-suited for both regulated markets and low-barrier online environments.

Privacy Policy

In addition to the structured Practice Statements, the Trial also reviewed publicly available Privacy Policies for all participating providers. This formed a key part of the Trial’s ethical due diligence and helped assess how well declared practices aligned with actual documentation and observed system behaviour.

Practice Statement

Practice Statements are formal documents submitted by participating providers, outlining how their systems function and how they claim to meet specific expectations under international and domestic standards. They offer providers an opportunity to articulate their system’s design in their own words — similar to a ‘statement of practice’ or ‘system disclosure’ used in certification and compliance contexts.

Interview

As part of the Trial’s commitment to transparency and accuracy, the team prepared a written summary of each vendor interview, capturing key points regarding system design, functionality and implementation claims. These summaries were shared with participants for review, allowing them to check, verify and suggest corrections where necessary.

Test Report

Individual Vendor Test Reports were developed for each participating provider. These reports formally document the results of the functional, usability and security evaluations carried out during the Trial and are intended to support public understanding, regulatory scrutiny and future conformity assessment or certification processes.
