A method whereby the date of birth (age) of a consumer engaging in e-commerce over the Internet is verified. The present invention is launched from a merchant's website when an age sensitive transaction—alcohol or tobacco purchase, access to an adult web site, etc., —is being undertaken. The system first checks to see if the consumer is a known entity with a known date of birth. If the consumer is not known to the system, then the system checks public records from information supplied to the system by the consumer. If the date of birth is still unknown after such a check, the consumer uploads an image of photo identification which is checked for date of birth either via software or manually. Once the date of birth is known, the transaction is approved or denied based on the totality of the facts of the transaction.

In an effort to control the production of illegal drugs such as methamphetamine, new statutes have placed restrictions on the sale of common cold remedies that contain pseudoephedrine and other precursors used in the production of these illegal drugs. Many common products, such as Sudafed® cold medicine, have been removed from store shelves and are now behind the counter at most pharmacies. These legal restrictions vary from state to state, but most restrict the amount of product that can be purchased by quantity and time. These legal restrictions also require creation of a customer log that often includes the customer's name, address, government-issued photo identification number and / or signature. Clearance of these restricted product sales and creation of the customer log are time consuming tasks that result in long lines during the winter season. The present invention is an automated process to speed up the authorization process and creation of the customer logs. The process can be applied to a single store or multiple stores. The invention also includes a clearance terminal especially adapted for this process.
