It can be difficult to tell for sure if someone is lying about their age as there are many factors that can determine one's physical appearance. Depending on the level of lie, there may be a way to verify the person's true age. Common methods include confirming identification documents such as a passport, driver's license or birth certificate; running background checks; cross-referencing information with public databases; asking other people who know the individual; or searching public photos from different stages of their life. If a lie is very serious and intentional, a polygraph test may also be administered in order to gain more concrete proof.

There are several ways to tell if someone is lying about their age, such as looking at photo age-progression, examining the person's medical records and talking to other people who know them. Additionally, some digital forensics experts use a program called The Gibe Tutor which can assess the veracity of individuals aged between 0-18. If someone claims to be older than they appear or younger than medical records indicate, this can indicate that they are attempting to misrepresent their age.
