The mechanism
How it works
ShareRing’s age verification process utilizes digital IDs and QR codes to streamline age confirmation. Customers create a Digital ID that includes necessary verification documents. Businesses generate QR codes tailored to different customer categories. When a customer scans the QR code, their verified age information is instantly shared with the business, allowing for real-time verification and compliance.
Unfragmented age verification with digital identities
Both retail and wholesale clients often face challenges consolidating documents and credentials across fragmented databases, whether digital or physical. ShareRing addresses this by allowing businesses to generate a QR code via the VQL platform. Customers scan this code to instantly share their age verification documents, streamlining data collection and reducing operational burdens.
Efficient processes with lower fees
Recognizing that information requirements vary based on client risk profiles and the nature of the relationship, ShareRing enables businesses to predetermine the necessary data from customers. This customization eliminates manual processes and ensures that businesses pay only for the information requested, leading to cost-effective and efficient operations.
Supports 190+ countries and territories
Your customers may come from across the world and hold IDs and documents that are unique to their region. We support IDs from 190+ countries and territories, and can customise the digitisation and verification of all types of physical documents.
End identity fraud
ShareRing’s Advanced Age Verification solution employs institutional-grade verification technology, significantly reducing the risk of identity fraud. By utilizing robust digital identity verification methods, businesses can ensure that individuals are who they claim to be, thereby preventing fraudulent activities.

Build it yourself
One capture, one branch, and nothing else.
The whole age workflow is four nodes. Nothing is collected beyond the answer to a single question, and no server-side check is ever reached, so there is nothing to bill and nothing to store.

Nothing billable runs in this chain at all. That is the point of putting the gate first.

Frequently asked
The questions we get asked.
Do we receive the customer's date of birth?
No. The check proves the threshold was met and returns a pass or a fail. The date of birth, the name and the document image never reach your platform.
Which rules does it meet?
It is built for UK Online Safety Act expectations, Australian age assurance guidelines, and US state-by-state adult-content rules.
What does an age check cost?
Nothing billable runs in the age chain at all. Putting the gate first is what makes that true.
How fast is it for someone who has used it before?
About two seconds.
What if our customers hold documents from unusual jurisdictions?
IDs from 190+ countries and territories are supported, and physical document types can be digitised and verified to order.
