Sumsub’s Age Estimation Solution uses in-house liveness technology to define an individual's age based on their facial features and also can detect sophisticated fraud attempts with video footage, masks, and deepfakes.

Did you know?

Sumsub is approved by the German Commission for the Protection of Minors in the Media (KJM) as an age verification solution in line with German regulatory standards.

Get started

Use age estimation to route applicants to different verification flows depending on their age and the probability level established by the system:

1. Contact our support at [email protected] to have the age estimation feature turned on.
2. Set up the WebSDK and/or MobileSDK integration.
3. Conduct verification and review results.

Scenarios

One of the main cases for the technology is to detect teenage users who need parental consent or cannot use applications at all.

Leverage age estimation to speed up verification and increase conversions. The algorithms usually allow for a non-significant 1-2 year difference. You can use these estimations to tailor the verification flow.

To identify underage users accurately, we suggest using an age buffer of 3, 7, or 10 years, depending on the sector. For example, implementing a 10-year buffer would mean that any user who appears to be 28 years old or younger will be asked to present an ID.

If your case allows for fewer restrictions, we propose using a 7-year buffer, which means having an age threshold of 25 years.

This strategy can be easily implemented through our condition-based Workflow builder.
