    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an age verification system and method for settling age verification requests. An age verification request is made unavailable for a processing display unit and other display units during a time interval when the processing unit processing the age verification request does not settle the age verification request and issues an instruction for a customer at the supplier system. The instruction from the display unit to the supplier system is configured to generate a message for the customer at the customer terminal relating to the consumer image or the document image. The age verification request is made available again for settling at the display units when the time interval during which the age verification request was unavailable has expired.
