On your phone

Guided liveness

Guide centre, turn, blink and smile captures before secure server-side analysis.

Five guided captures

Centre, left, right, blink, smile
Live framing guidance
One-to-one face match
Processed in memory only

Result delivery

Combine consent, document validity, age, liveness and face match into one deterministic result.

Encrypted to your server

AES-256-GCM encrypted callback
Allow-listed callback URLs
Event IDs for de-duplication
Automatic retries

Or if all you want is the outcome...

POST /veriwell/callback · decrypted body

{  "event_id": "EVENT_ID",  "verification_id": "SESSION_ID",  "client_reference": "your-user-123",  "status": "verified",  "age_over_required_threshold": true,  "required_age": 18,  "completed_at": "2026-10-15T21:20:00Z"}

Sent encrypted (AES-256-GCM); decrypt it with your API secret. Status, the age-threshold result and correlation IDs. Never document images, dates of birth or raw biometrics.

How it works

A clear handoff for the user and a deterministic result for your backend.

Step 01

Create session

Your backend

Your backend opens a short-lived verification session with the required age threshold.

Input: Age threshold
Lifetime: 10 minutes
Returns: Session ID

Step 02

Secure handoff

Desktop to phone

The user moves to mobile through a one-time QR code and provides explicit consent.

Method: One-time QR
Consent: Before camera
Reuse: Never

Step 03

Run checks

One guided flow

Veriwell validates the document, age, liveness and face match in one guided flow.

Document: UK only
Liveness: 5 captures
Match: One-to-one

Step 04

Receive result

Straight to your server

An encrypted outcome is delivered directly to your backend.

Contains: Status + age result
Images: Never sent
Audit: Metadata only

Why Veriwell? Private, Fast, Deterministic.

The captures never touch a disk. Images are held in volatile memory for the length of one check, so there is no media store to breach, subpoena or restore.

Built for privacy-first products.

Nothing written to disk

Document and selfie captures are processed in volatile memory only. No image or video store exists.

Identity fields discarded

Date of birth is used for the age calculation and dropped. No DOB, MRZ or document number is retained.

Embeddings expire

The document portrait embedding lives in vision-service memory and is deleted after liveness or within five minutes.

Short-lived sessions

Every verification session opens for ten minutes, then closes on its own without operator action.

Read the full processing and retention notice on the privacy page.
