Developed by NACS, the global trade association representing the convenience and fuel retailing industry, and Conexxus—its standards-setting partner—TruAge transforms the traditional carding experience at the checkout, delivering a better experience on both sides of the counter. TruAge uses encrypted, one-time-use digital tokens to share only the most important elements to confirm the purchaser is of legal age—the driver’s license number, issuing state, expiration date and date of birth—which also minimizes human error from manual checks, protects the user’s privacy and makes identity theft difficult. TruAge has built-in prompts for regulatory or manufacturer requirements to assist frontline staff in age-verification and meets manufacturer volume limits and enhanced access controls to ensure compliance with evolving regulations and eliminate liabilities linked to underage sales. It also provides admissible proof-of-age verification appended to retailers’ transaction logs that can be unlocked under subpoena and submitted as evidence.
