Why embed

Proving age belongs in your app, for your customers.

When a customer leaves your app to verify age in a different app, you temporarily lose context and control of your carefully constructed UX.  Instead, embed the Luciditi Age Component and that moment of friction becomes a moment of brand confidence.

01

Brand loyalty stays in your app

Customers complete proof of age without switching to a 3rd-party wallet. Instead they continue to experience your UI, your UX, your checkout, your sale.

Customer trust
02

Early-mover publicity & footfall

Be among the first to operate under the new alcohol licensing rules. Press, regulators, customers, competitors - are all watching who moves first.

Competitive advantage
03

Reusable, interoperable proof

One Luciditi Age credential is verifiable across the entire network supported by DVS providers, having equal legal status alongside Yoti, Post Office EasyID and the Luciditi App.   Fully underpinned by the full range of certification roles held by Luciditi.

Interoperability
04

Minimal integration. Zero compliance overhead.

The Luciditi PoA component does the heavy lifting across technology, security, compliance and ongoing development.  No new technology stack to develop and maintain, no DVS Trust Framework audits, no enormous staff training programme.

Low technical impact
05

Less abuse at the till

Age challenges are the #1 cause of violence against staff. A definitive yes/no from a signed credential takes the argument off the shop floor.

Colleague safety
MANDATORY LICENSING CONDITIONS · 2026

Digital proof of age, accepted everywhere.

Once the revised Mandatory Licensing Conditions take effect digital proof becomes legally acceptable for the purchase of alcohol — at the till, at the bar, at the door, on delivery handover.

Retailers, pub chains, event organisers and delivery operators who embed proof of age now will be ready on day one - for their customers,  and ahead of competitors relying on third-party wallets.

In-person presentation

Same component tech: behind the bar, at the venue, on the doorstep.

Embedded Proof of Age works for self-checkout, in-app delivery handover, on entry, and at the point of sale. The bartender or door staff scans your QR, their verifier app shows a yes/no to the requested age challenge.

  1. Step 01 CUSTOMER · ACCESS FROM YOUR APP
    The customer opens their Luciditi Age Proof in your app.

    User opens digital proof of age

    The customer taps the embedded credential in your app. Their Luciditi Age Proof appears with a one-time QR — no app switch, no third-party wallet.

  2. Step 02 STAFF · USE A DVS VERIFIER APP
    DVS verifier app scans the QR from the customer's device.

    QR scanned by a DVS verifier

    Staff scan the QR with any DVS-certified verifier — at the till, the door, or on delivery handover. The credential is transmitted over BLE or over by server retrieval.

  3. Step 03 STAFF - GET RESULT
    Verifier shows a green ‘25+ Verified’ eligibility result.

    Verifier receives result

    A cryptographically-signed answer to the age challenge, with no DOB, no photo,  no PII whatsoever.  No argument.

Built for

Verification Technology

Checking Proof of Age

As user presents their Proof of Age from your app, you'll want to be able to verify it.   You'll need a DVS-certified verifier: a free app, an SDK, or a POS integration. Luciditi ships all three (verifiers from Yoti are also available)

Free forever

Luciditi ID Verifier App

Free iOS & Android app for door staff, convenience stores and small operations. Hand-held age checks in seconds.

For developers

Verifier SDK

POS-ready

POS Device Integration

Embed Luciditi into existing tills, self-checkouts and handheld POS terminals — without ripping anything out.
