Your ID photo
The current demo runs OCR in your browser. The photo is not uploaded; only the date you save is sent to your profile. OCR does not check whether an ID is genuine or belongs to you.
A LITTLE DIRECTION FOR YOUR DIGITAL WORLD
Your web.
Your age.
Your privacy.
Check your age, connect your browser, and use a signed pass to unlock eligible content. A smaller proof for a more thoughtful web.
Let’s walk you through it
Four age bands · one browser pass
An age answer. Less personal information.
The browsing credential has no birthdate or account ID.
It carries the proof needed to check access.

Supabase Auth stores your email and a password hash. Turn off email confirmation in Supabase to continue without a confirmation email.
How would you like to continue?
Choose an access path. You can upgrade a child-limited account with an ID check later.
Read the date from your ID.
Choose a clear, straight-on photo of the front of your license. OCR runs in this browser; the image is not uploaded. The detected date is read-only.
OCR can misread dates. This date is unverified and cannot unlock rated websites. If it is wrong, try a clearer photo.

Download Chrome extension View Chrome installation stepsA quick age check.
Scan your ID and take a live selfie. An automatic check confirms the document and compares your selfie with its photo. Complete this once, then use your age pass to browse.
Before you start
- ✓Use a valid, readable document.
- ✓Choose a bright spot without glare.
- ✓Return here when your check finishes.
Veriff processes your ID and selfie. WebCompass stores your verified birthdate, never your ID image or selfie. We request deletion of the verification session; provider retention may apply. Websites receive neither your document nor your birthdate.
Your age check is complete.

TRY YOUR BROWSER PASS
Same sites. Different age bands.
These three harmless example domains have project sample ratings. They demonstrate the access rules without visiting mature content. An unverified or expired pass is blocked on all three.
| Example site | Under 13 | 13–15 | 16–17 | 18+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| example.org · 13+ | Blocked | Allowed | Allowed | Allowed |
| example.net · 16+ | Blocked | Blocked | Allowed | Allowed |
| example.com · 18+ | Blocked | Blocked | Blocked | Allowed |
The extension covers YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, X/Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Discord, Twitch, and Pinterest with sample project policies. These illustrate our project’s rules and do not certify a platform’s official minimum age or rate individual pages. Sign out of the extension when sharing this browser.
KNOW WHAT YOU SHARE
A clear answer to “what happens to my data?”
Your account and date
Supabase Auth stores your email and password hash. A date saved from OCR is marked unverified and does not determine website access. Provider verification, when configured, is stored separately.
Your browsing pass
A real pass contains a signed age band, expiry, credential ID, format version, and public device key. It does not contain your birthdate or account ID. OCR and demo results do not issue a real pass.
A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS
Before you
head out.
Getting stuck is normal.
Here’s how to get moving again.
Does this work on every website?
This build checks top-level visits to the domains in its small rating list. Sites outside that list open normally. It works only in Chrome while the extension is installed and enabled; another browser can bypass it.
What if I don’t have an ID?
Choose the child-limited path. It assigns the most restrictive Under 13 pass; this is not proof of your actual age, and all rated sites requiring 13+ remain blocked. You can add an ID check later.
Does uploading an ID verify my age?
No. The demo reads a DOB with browser OCR and saves it as unverified. Demo verification is simulated; it does not authenticate an ID or issue an age pass.
Why does a rated site remain locked?
A real age pass requires a provider-verified profile. OCR and demo results do not activate the extension pass.
