authID Selected To Support Initial Deployment Of Retail Kiosks Distributing Age-Restricted Products Within Government-Secured Facilities And Controlled Contractor Environments In US

authID's biometric identity capabilities enable compliant retail transactions while preventing access by underage buyers

DENVER, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- authID (NASDAQ:AUID), a provider of biometric identity authentication solutions, today announced it has been selected to support the initial deployment of retail kiosks distributing age-restricted products within government-secured facilities and controlled contractor environments in the United States. The technology will be integrated with the Berify.me platform to enforce identity and age verification while securing user engagement and compliance workflows.

A manufacturer client required a scalable method to comply with U.S. age-restricted product regulations, reduce liability exposure, and prevent unauthorized access to regulated products. Federal and state regulations impose strict penalties for underage sales, including fines and potential license suspension, making automated and auditable compliance increasingly important.

Traditionally, age verification responsibilities fall to retail personnel, which can introduce human error and liability risk. Operating within the Berify platform stack, authID provides an automated identity and document verification solution designed to remove these risks while maintaining a streamlined consumer experience.
