Zyphe Age Verification
What it is
Zyphe Age Verification checks whether a person meets a minimum age set for a particular flow before granting access to age-restricted products, services or content. The threshold can vary by market, such as 18 or 21. It checks government identity documents covering more than 4,000 versions from 213 countries and territories, with active liveness, anti-spoof and injection-attack detection. After an initial check, a user can present a KYC Passport zero-knowledge proof of being over the threshold without disclosing a birth date or document. Its location check compares GPS with the IP country and flags VPN or proxy use and blacklisted IPs. Zyphe says the document is processed transiently and stored encrypted in the user's vault; it retains the result, audit log and cryptographic proof. Integration options include APIs, SDKs, hosted verification links, iframe embedding and mobile WebView. A free Business plan includes a monthly KYC allowance, with charges per verification above it and per-check add-ons. Zyphe does not offer facial age estimation; age comes from a verified document or a credential based on one.
