# Age Verification

### Age Verification Status

The `verifyAgeVerification` function is an asynchronous method that checks the status of an age verification request by using the unique **audit ID** generated during the verification process. It communicates with RocketFuel’s backend to determine whether the user has successfully completed age verification.\
Use this function to confirm whether a user has passed or failed age verification. This is essential when handling age-restricted products or services, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

**Input Parameters**

* **auditId**: `string`\
  The unique identifier of the audit log that was created when the age verification attempt was initiated.

**Usage Example**

Assuming you have an instance of your SDK client (e.g., named `client`) that includes the `verifyAgeVerification` method:

```javascript
async function checkAgeVerification(auditId: string) {
  try {
    const result = await client.verifyAgeVerification(auditId);
    console.log("✅ User age verified successfully:", result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error verifying age:", error);
  }
}

```

**Response**

```json

    "id": "d27d3b78-cd99-42f9-87f6-2a17b01f7820",

**📌 Notes**

* This function returns `true` if the signature is valid, otherwise `false`.
* Your webhook endpoint must always return a successful response (e.g., HTTP 200), as Rocketfuel verifies the endpoint only once during registration through the merchant dashboard.
