#Discord Age Verification

Users may be required to verify their age by submitting a valid government ID or using facial age estimation through Discord’s verification partners. Discord emphasizes that its ID-based age verification is privacy-focused. In some cases, users may be asked to complete more than one verification method to confirm their age group. Discord has issued a clarification on its upcoming age assurance update. The company emphasized that most users will be able to continue using Discord as they do today without being asked to confirm their age. According to Discord, age verification is only required for users who want to access age-restricted servers, channels or modify certain safety settings. For many adult users, Discord can already determine age group through its internal age inference system, allowing access to adult features without any additional steps. Facial age estimation runs entirely on a user’s device, and video scans are never sent to Discord or third parties.
