Welcome to the developer documentation for integrating a Yoti Age Service. There are multiple ways of integrating Yoti’s Age Verification solutions. All options support web browser, Android, and iOS integrations.
- Age Verification service (hosted pages): offer multiple age verification methods using a single API via Yoti’s customisable hosted UI. Some methods are also available to use without the UI.
- Standalone direct integrations: embed our proprietary age assurance methods separately and directly into your interface, via standalone APIs, iFrame and SDKs. The direct integrations are explained in the table below and throughout the age developer documentation.
