Why 18up?
We take the burden off entrepreneurs. You comply with the law, we eliminate the privacy risk.
Zero Data Liability
You receive no personal data, so you can’t leak it either. We simply return a 'Go' or 'No-go'.
Keep Conversions High
No tedious forms. A simple QR scan and the customer continues with the order.
Legally Watertight
Based on official identity documents, not a simple checkbox 'yes, I am 18'.
How 18up works
- 1
At setup, we read the NFC chip on your passport or ID — just once.
- 2
We then check only your age.
- 3
All data (name, national ID number, photo, and date of birth) is deleted immediately.
- 4
From now on, you can safely share your age anywhere.
How does the integration work?
We make it as simple as possible for you and your web developer.

Personal
How we really protect your privacy.
We don’t store your national ID number, photo, or name. Our app checks your passport, confirms your age, and discards the rest. After that, you can prove your age anywhere in a privacy-friendly way. Nobody knows it’s you — only that your age checks out. Wherever you use 18up: you stay anonymous. Nobody is watching along: no log files, no data, 100% secure.
