Age verification at the booth. Guests enter DOB before the camera activates.
Movebooth Pro collects date of birth and ZIP at the kiosk and enforces your age requirement before a guest can take a photo. Not a checkbox. Not a soft prompt. A hard gate. Built for spirits brands, cannabis companies, casino activations, and any regulated event that needs more than an honor system.

How it works
Five steps. Age verified. Experience gated.
The age gate is not a waiver or a checkbox — it is the first thing the guest encounters. The camera does not activate until age is verified.
01
Guest taps to start
The guest taps the iPad screen to begin the experience. The age gate activates immediately.
02
Guest enters DOB and ZIP
Before the camera activates, the guest enters their date of birth and ZIP code on the iPad touchscreen.
03
Age is calculated and enforced
Movebooth computes the guest's age in real time. Guests who qualify proceed. Guests who do not meet your minimum age see a denial screen and cannot continue.
04
Verified guests take their photo
Age-verified guests proceed to the full photo experience — still, GIF, or boomerang — and receive their content via text or email.
05
DOB and ZIP exported with the lead
The guest's DOB and ZIP are saved to the lead record and included in the CSV export from your Movebooth dashboard after the event.
What you get
Six features built for regulated event activations.
Movebooth Pro age verification is designed for event operators in regulated verticals who need a defensible, kiosk-enforced age gate — not a checkbox that guests ignore.
DOB + ZIP collected at the kiosk
Guests enter their date of birth and ZIP code directly on the iPad touchscreen before the experience begins. No manual ID check required.
Age gate enforced before the camera activates
Movebooth calculates the guest's age in real time and blocks any guest who does not meet your minimum age requirement. Qualifying guests proceed. Others see a denial screen.
Configurable minimum age
Set the age threshold to match your activation: 21+ for spirits and cannabis, 18+ for casino or gaming events, or any age your compliance team requires.
DOB and ZIP captured in the lead record
Age-verified guests have their date of birth and ZIP code included in the lead record alongside name, email, and phone. All data exports as a CSV from the Movebooth dashboard.
Gated experience, not just a form field
The age gate is a hard gate — guests who fail verification cannot access the photo experience at all. It is not a checkbox or a soft prompt. The booth enforces it.
Full lead capture included
Pro includes all Plus lead capture features: name, email, phone, required or optional fields, and CSV export. Age verification adds DOB + ZIP on top of that.
Who it's for
Built for regulated verticals where age gates are non-negotiable.
If your activation involves alcohol, cannabis, gambling, tobacco, or age-restricted content, the honor system is not a compliance strategy. Movebooth Pro enforces the gate at the kiosk.
Spirits and alcohol brands
Enforce 21+ verification at tastings, distillery tours, brand activations, and festival sponsorship booths. DOB + ZIP collected and exported with every lead.
Cannabis brands and dispensaries
21+ (or 18+ where applicable) verification for dispensary grand openings, cannabis brand activations, and industry events. Age-gated and compliant.
Casino and gaming activations
Enforce 18+ or 21+ gates at casino floors, gaming sponsorships, and brand experience zones. Block underage guests before the experience begins.
Tobacco brands
Age-gate tobacco brand experiences at events and retail activations. DOB capture provides a defensible verification step at the kiosk.
Adult entertainment events
Enforce age gates at industry events and venue activations. The gated flow ensures no underage guest accesses branded content.
Competitor comparison
Only two photo booth platforms have an age gate. Movebooth is one of them.
PBSCO, TouchPix, and Darkroom Booth do not have native age gate functionality. If age verification matters for your activation, your options are Movebooth Pro or Simple Booth Select.

FAQ
Common questions about age verification for photo booths.
- Which photo booth software has age verification?
- Movebooth Pro ($249.99/mo) includes age verification. Guests enter their date of birth and ZIP code at the iPad kiosk before the booth allows them to proceed. If the guest does not meet the minimum age, they are blocked from the experience entirely — it is a gated flow, not just a form field. Simple Booth Select ($249/mo) also has an age gate. PBSCO, TouchPix, and Darkroom do not have native age gate functionality.
- How does age verification work in a photo booth?
- In Movebooth, the age gate is enforced before the photo is taken. The guest enters their date of birth and ZIP code on the iPad touchscreen. Movebooth calculates their age in real time. If they meet the minimum age requirement, they proceed to the photo experience. If they do not, they are blocked and shown a denial screen.

- Can Movebooth enforce a 21+ age gate for a spirits or cannabis brand activation?
- Yes. Movebooth Pro supports age gate enforcement for any minimum age.

- Does Movebooth export date of birth data?
- Yes. On the Pro plan, date of birth and ZIP code are captured as part of the guest lead record and included in the CSV export from the Movebooth dashboard. There is no native CRM integration — data exports as a CSV file that can be imported into any platform that accepts CSV uploads.
