Even more so considering that most, if not all countries already have age-verification infrastructure in-place for selling alcohol and tobacco (and other goods). Why not piggy-back on this? Go to a kiosk/shop selling controlled goods, pay a small fee to the vendor to get a one-use verification code that attests your age.

Making someone get in the car and go somewhere to be able to use a website is a rough ask.

Just a thought, maybe I could get a one-time code from my secretary of state website that provides only the age bracket information to the service provider’s age verification broker.

- Don’t need to go anywhere.

- Doesn’t provide age information to the service provider beyond “yes/no, allowed”.

- Doesn’t tell the agency who knows your age what service you’re trying to use.

- Broker doesn’t know any actual identity or service details, and can ideally be ZDR

This is literally the purpose of most of the European EUDI wallets, but automated. You create an account with whatever part of government handles ID, you get a "wallet", and then services can ask you to share minimised data from the wallet. This can be implemented in such a way that the government doesn't know who requested and the requester doesn't learn anything about you other than the minimum covering set of attributes required.

Love it. We've been playing around with other ideas that are not web related. As the tech improves, less data will be needed to infer age. Strange now, but setting up a microphone at a kiosk or providing a widget-less API for broader use-cases, is not a stretch for piggy-backing. Thank you for the comment.
