TruAge is your secure digital ID for making age-restricted purchases. Currently accepted at limited retail locations. As new locations are added in early 2024, check for updates to see where TruAge is accepted: https://www.mytruage.org/ Let’s face it—the old-school method of getting carded has its challenges. Searching your wallet or purse for your ID is a pain, especially when you’re in a hurry and your phone is easily within reach. Plus, you shouldn’t have to put your privacy at risk. The TruAge app gives you a faster, safer way to prove your age at checkout, while keeping your personal information secure. Here’s how it works: Quickly scan and go — After a cashier scans your unique QR code in the app, TruAge confirms you’re good to go. They don’t need to manually review your driver’s license or enter your DOB. Protect your data — TruAge only looks at the four data points that verify your legal age, unlike other ID scanning systems that can expose up to 33+ pieces of personally identifiable information (PII), including your full name, address, height, weight, and height. Keep it private — TruAge never stores or shares personal details. An encrypted ID token ensures that purchases can’t be tracked or tied to your name.
