Amie Vouch, an age verification company, has been nominated for Best Web Services Company at the 2026 XMA Europe Awards. The company will be present at XBIZ Amsterdam this week, including the awards ceremony on September 13.

XMA Europe Awards Nomination

The nomination for Best Web Services Company at the 2026 XMA Europe Awards was announced on September 8, 2026. The XMA Europe Awards are part of XBIZ Amsterdam, which is scheduled to take place from September 10-13 at Passenger Terminal Amsterdam. The Amie Vouch team will be on the ground at XBIZ Amsterdam, with the awards ceremony occurring on September 13.

Amie Vouch has been working in the adult industry since 2024. The company's approach to age verification is described as double-blind, meaning no single party holds both the user's identity and the check result simultaneously. This architecture is designed to ensure privacy while meeting compliance requirements.

Peter Medvedik, Global Director of Strategic Partnerships, stated that coming from the adult industry, he has observed how slower verification methods can negatively impact conversion rates. He added that operators should not have to choose between compliance and a complicated user experience. Medvedik also noted that users should be able to verify their age instantly with a trusted digital wallet, allowing businesses to receive proof of age without collecting unnecessary personal data. He further mentioned that Amie Vouch is ensuring compliance as new age assurance regulations emerge across the United States, the European Union, and other global markets.

Age Verification Technology and Features

Amie Vouch's age verification solution is built on Gataca's digital identity infrastructure. It offers a multi-method solution that includes Facial Age Estimation (FAE) and support for multiple digital identity wallets and passkeys. The system is designed to reduce friction and processing time often associated with traditional age verification systems.

The company's "Any Wallet. One Verification" feature, introduced on June 26, 2026, allows users to verify their age using a digital wallet they already trust. Instead of sharing personal information, the platform generates privacy-preserving verification tokens that confirm eligibility. The check completes in under six seconds, leaving no data trail behind. For returning visitors, reusable credentials and passkeys provide instant access.

Amie Vouch's wallet currently supports France Identité, Samsung Wallet ID, Scytales, Namirial, FortID, Lissi, Docaposte, IGrant.io, Toppan, Thales, and HashID. Additional major wallet integrations are being implemented. The Facial Age Estimation method involves users taking a selfie, which the system uses to estimate age and detect liveness, blocking masks, 2D images, or bots. No images are stored, and no IDs are required for this method.

The system is designed to be anonymous, with sites receiving only a "yes" or "no" result, not personal data. Any age data is deleted immediately. This approach aims to ensure compliance while eliminating data handling and storage risks for platforms. Amie Vouch adjusts thresholds, methods, and language automatically to fit different countries, age limits, and requirements.

Industry Context and Compliance

Age verification is becoming mandatory across many states and countries. This shift means verification is no longer just a line item but a critical factor influencing revenue. A slow or clunky check can deter users before they convert, while a fast one allows traffic to flow with minimal interruption. Amie Vouch's technology aims to provide a fast and seamless user experience to maintain optimal conversion rates.

The company emphasizes that compliance does not have to be expensive. For free sites that rely on advertising revenue, flexible pricing is a consideration. Amie Vouch's technology accuracy and algorithm are intended to set a new industry standard for age verification.

Other developments in the age verification and adult industry include Ondato joining ASACP as a corporate sponsor on September 8, 2026. Additionally, on September 4, 2026, U.K. media regulator Ofcom fined adult website XGroovy 700,000 pounds (approximately $986,000) for failing to comply with provisions of the Online Safety Act.
