Age verification verifies date of birth to ensure a customer is over the required age to buy age-restricted products. While verifying age, the software primarily verifies the age mentioned in government identification against government records. Your address and other identity-related information are not accessed. Age verification is mostly required in retail stores that sell tobacco, liquor, and different age-restricted products, or for helping websites verify age. It protects merchants from penalties or legal actions under the laws prohibiting the sale of age-restricted products to minors or individuals under a certain age. Identity verification is more of a process to ensure that the information, like address, age, name, etc., provided by a person about their identity is correct and that they are who they claim to be. Identity verification is used in banking, lending, insurance, and other financial and healthcare businesses. Identity verification is an armor that saves businesses from new account fraud. Moreover, identity verification is crucial in the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes.
