In our ongoing effort to ensure that your digital content remains compliant with state regulations, we have created a ready-to-use solution designed to simplify compliance. This solution ensures that your websites with adult content can verify viewer ages seamlessly, without the need to block traffic.
This initial AVS feature release includes support for two of the most reputable verification services (VerifyMy and BlueCheck), along with a developer API that allows other AVS services to be integrated. Elevated X clients may opt to use their AVS service of choice via the API.
For more details and answers to common questions, please view the AVS FAQ
Why is AVS important?
As of 2025, more than 1/3 of US states and many counties throughout Europe have passed bills requiring age verification prior to viewing media or material intended for adults.
Displaying SFW Only Content May Not Be Sufficient
As laws differ by location, with enforcement happening on a state or local government level, simply obscuring content or attempting to avoid nudity is insufficient. Many of the age restriction bills passed include text-based copy, logos/graphics, and other forms of media along with images and videos in their lists of what may not be made available to minors.
The 100% Compliant Safe-For-Work AVS Lander
Elevated X provides a default framework for Age Verification that complies with the basic requirements of blocking ALL CONTENT prior to a viewer verifying their age via a 3rd party AVS service. Please see SFW-Lander-Pagesfor more information.
