Anonymous verification could be something like OAuth. Government run or certified probably. You'd need to provide an ID to OAuth provider once, but the actual service requesting verification would get as little as your age and email.

That doesn't sound very anonymous to me

I just wonder if they even have to go that far. I didn’t really see much of a standard of what is age verification defined.
