Age Assurance Without Identity Oversharing
FaceLock 21 helps bars, restaurants, and retailers confirm age eligibility with face-bound credentials that work offline and protect privacy.
Current age checks create avoidable risk
Traditional ID checks expose full personal information when a relying party only needs to confirm age eligibility. FaceLock 21 reduces that exposure by allowing verification of an age threshold (for example, 21+) through a biometrically-bound credential.
How FaceLock 21 works
A one-way face vector and age-range indicator are sealed into a credential that can be verified in person without calling a central system.
Issue a FaceLock 21 credential
An approved issuer creates a credential with 3D liveness and biometric binding. The credential includes only the age assurance signal needed for the transaction.
Present credential at point of service
The person presents their credential digitally or physically. The verifier does not need to inspect unrelated identity attributes.
Verify using Face Matching, not Facial Recognition
FaceLock confirms the credential belongs to the presenter through positive matching. No remote identity database lookup is required to complete verification.
What relying parties gain
Privacy-preserving verification
Confirm age eligibility without exposing full driver-license details.
Biometrically-bound trust
Credentials are tied to one person with liveness-backed issuance.
Offline-ready validation
Verify in environments with limited or no connectivity.
Operational clarity
Staff receive a clear pass/fail age signal for faster service decisions.
