Interested in applying to take part in our Age Verification Beta?
Here are the details of how Age Verification will work during our Beta:
————————————————————————
VRChat is committed to building a high-trust platform for our community members to build strong relationships in a safe environment. As such, we are introducing an early trial of Age Verification.
Group Instance creators will have the option to restrict access to age-verified users. For example, a bar may want to restrict access to 18+ users. This will require all attendees to go through the Age Verification process. Once the process is complete, that user (assuming they are 18 or older) can enter any Age Verification Instances in the future.
Age Verification will not be required to use VRChat. It will only gate access to instances that were created with the "Age Verification" option enabled.
In order to respect privacy, we will use a third-party vendor to verify age. VRChat will not retain any information aside from birthdate. A government ID and a phone or computer with a camera will be required. There is a cost associated with this service, and as such, VRChat will not be able to make it accessible to all users at launch.
We are partnering with a small set of event organizers to run a trial for age-verified events. Members of the group will be able to follow a specific link to get age-verified and attend the group event.
Age-verified users can also opt to have a Verified 18+ badge added to their profile.
In this trial phase, Age Verification will not impact content filters, but we will consider how to do so as we scale and Age Verification becomes generally available.
We believe that adding age verification as an option will enable our communities and users to better tailor their experience and build a stronger and safer platform.
