Discord Will Implement Age Verification, Using Face Scanning and ID

The general minimum age requirement for accessing Discord is 13 years old, but it’s important to note that there are different minimum age requirements for certain countries.

For example, South Korea has an age requirement of 14+, while Vietnam has a minimum age requirement of 15+.

In Europe, several countries, such as Austria, Cyprus, Italy, Lithuania, and Spain, have set a minimum age of 14.

Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia have a 15-year age limit, while Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Aruba, the Caribbean Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten have a 16-year age limit.

The Czech Republic and France have a 15-year age limit, while Germany has a 16-year age limit.

As part of its commitment to teen safety, Discord is also recruiting members for its Teen Council, which consists of 10 to 12 teens aged 13 to 17.

This “teen-by-default” policy builds on Discord’s existing safety architecture, including features like Ignore, Family Center, Teen Safety Assist, Warning System, and Guardian’s Guide.
