Regulatory pressure around identity verification has grown dramatically over the last three years, and many industries now face new requirements for verifying identity, age, and eligibility with far greater accuracy than ever before. From age-gated access laws to workforce verification mandates, enterprises must adopt compliant, audit-ready identity solutions—or face significant risk.
Passed (Passed.com) is designed for this new regulatory environment. Its modular identity verification and compliance suite helps organizations remain compliant while reducing operational overhead and fraud exposure.
The Regulatory Wave: New Requirements Across Multiple Industries
1. Age-Gated Access Laws
Several U.S. states—including Utah, Texas, Louisiana, and others—have introduced laws requiring digital platforms to verify age using government-issued ID or authoritative verification methods. These laws impact:
- membership sites
- adult-oriented platforms
- gaming & gambling companies
- online communities
- content platforms
- social networks
Static age gates (“I am over 18”) no longer meet legal requirements.
2. KYC & AML Regulations
Financial institutions, fintech companies, lenders, and insurance firms must follow evolving:
- Know Your Customer (KYC)
- Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
- Beneficial Ownership verification laws
- Transaction monitoring
- Identity risk scoring
These regulations require accurate identity verification and strong audit trails.
3. Workforce & Employment Verification
Remote work has introduced new risks. Employers must verify identities, eligibility, and credentials—sometimes cross-border—while maintaining secure records and proof of verification.
4. Industry-Specific Compliance Requirements
Passed supports compliance workflows across:
- real estate (identity checks before closings)
- insurance (high-risk transactions)
- legal & document execution
- enterprise agreements
Each of these industries must ensure the identity of all parties involved in sensitive transactions.
