Adult Verification Service:

Or: Age-Verification-Service / AVS . Internet verification service to guarantee that subscribers to adult (porno) sites are of legal age . Since the government has decreed that ownership of a credit card is sufficient proof of adulthood, most AVS require that you charge your membership fee on a credit card. Members select a username and password to access AVS-protected adult sites which have signed up with a particular AVS .
