For a non-porn related project, we are looking into options to verfiy
a user age before giving him access to a website. This verification
should be as legally stable as possible and if anyhow possible be not
country specific. For example in germany there is the option to
request a "Postident" from the user, which has to go to a local
post-office where he has to show his passport. Is there a company who
handles user validation on an international scale. |

Let me know if this fills your need:

legal compliance where applicable.
This service is currently offered through this OnGuardTM partner:
VerifyME

looking at VerifyME this sounds good, though the site remains
unspecific on what they exactly to do validate non-us addresses. The
other problem is that they only work with US companies...

Did you see this?
VerifyMe

The method used to verify is inthis short 2 page doc. WHere did you
see they only work with US companies? I missed that.
I'll look again, see if I can find another solution.
