Use cases

Where age estimation fits

Add a fast first-pass age signal before higher-friction checks are needed.

Mobile onboarding

Run a selfie-based estimate inside signup flows where speed matters.

Platform safety

Route accounts for review when the photo appears below your selected age threshold.

Decision support

Estimate only, not identity proof

Age Estimation predicts age from a face photo. The age is an estimate only and is not proof of identity. For regulated decisions, pair it with the identity or document checks your policy requires.

One clear, front-facing face photo works best.

Borderline estimates should move to a stronger verification step.

For higher assurance, run selfie vs Home Affairs photo comparison.

Higher assurance

When to use a stronger check

Age Estimation is useful for fast triage, but it is not a substitute for ID-backed verification.

For higher assurance, use Face Match: selfie vs Home Affairs photo, especially for regulated age gates or identity decisions.

Is this legal proof of age?

No. The age is an estimate only from a face photo and is not proof of identity. For higher assurance, run selfie vs Home Affairs photo comparison with Face Match.
