Comparison — adult-platform onboarding

A pay-as-you-go alternative to Onfido for adult platforms

For platforms handling adult creators and explicit content. TrustVerifyID gives you per-verification pricing, document and selfie capture, age verification, AML screening and a consent-form workflow you can audit.

⚠️
Scope — please read. TrustVerifyID is not a certified IDSP or government digital identity provider. It is a developer-first verification workflow platform for platforms that need identity evidence, consent evidence and manual review. Do not use it where a certified IDSP is legally required.

Why adult-platform teams pick TrustVerifyID

Platforms handling adult creators and explicit content need three things in the onboarding flow: prove the person is real, prove they are an adult, and keep a defensible evidence trail of consent. TrustVerifyID is shaped around those three.

🧑

Document + selfie identity capture

Passport, national ID and residence permit upload with OCR, MRZ parsing and quality scoring, plus a selfie face-match step. Each creator gets a verification record you can store against their profile.

🎱

Dedicated age verification

Document-based age check plus an optional AI facial estimation fallback. Configurable thresholds (18, 21) for jurisdictions that require them.

📝

Consent / release-form evidence

Upload a signed model release or content-consent form (PDF / JPG / PNG) and link it to the verified identity. Reviewer can accept, reject or hold for clarification — with an audit trail.

👥

Manual reviewer queue

Every case lands in your reviewer queue with the document, OCR text, age decision, AML / sanctions result and consent evidence. Approve, reject or escalate with notes; every reviewer view is logged.

🔒

AES-256-GCM encrypted storage

Every document, selfie and consent form is stored AES-256-GCM-encrypted with per-applicant keys, outside the public web root. Files are never publicly URL-addressable.

🇺🇸

Per-verification & pay-as-you-go pricing

Free plan includes 50 verifications a month, plus $25 of marketplace credit after email verification. Scale up via the modular API marketplace — pay for what you verify, no minimum contract.
