Professional Age Verification
Professional age verification is one focused use case of Item Assist’s Individual Item Research service. One item or a full inventory that doesn’t exist yet — Item Assist personally reviews every request and confirms scope, pricing, and turnaround before any paid work begins.
No charge to submit. Item Assist reviews the scope and confirms pricing before paid work begins. Volume and coordination pricing may apply to larger assignments.

How Pricing Works
Professional age verification is scoped as Individual Item Research, with scope and price confirmed before paid work begins. Multi-item or list-based assignments fall under Contents Research, quoted after reviewing the scope; volume pricing may be available. Assignments requiring item-list collection or coordination may involve an additional charge, explained and approved before work begins.
What Each Service Includes

Accuracy-First, Human-Reviewed Research
Human-Reviewed Findings
Model and serial evidence is reviewed by a person before delivery, not just returned from an automated lookup.
Source Documentation
Findings reference the model records, release history, and public sources used to reach a conclusion.
Clear Limitations
When evidence is incomplete, the report says so rather than overstating confidence.
Typical 24–48 Hour Turnaround
After scope and authorization are confirmed. Rush service may be available by request. Covers household appliances, electronics, and everyday contents — not formal appraisal or onsite diagnostic work.
