# How is a TruAge’s driver’s license scan different from other license scans?

Other age verification services can expose up to 33+ pieces of personally identifiable information about customers, including their full name, address, height, weight, eye color, and more. These systems offer little control over how or where your information is used: they may look up even more information in for-profit, third-party databases, or they may sell information to them.

TruAge only looks at the four pieces of information legally required to verify age: driver’s license number, issuing state, birthdate, and expiration date. Those data points are then encrypted as anonymous digital tokens, meaning they are never visible to the cashier or store, even after checkout. The information in those tokens cannot be traced back to an individual without legal authorization from a court-issued subpoena.

TruAge is also SOC-2 compliant and part of W3C's Verifiable Credentials 2.0, making it the de facto global standard in digital age verification.
