[18+] People under the age of 18 are not permitted to use any World services including verifying a World ID at an Orb. During the verification process, you will be asked to enter a date of birth and the Orb conducts an automated age assurance check. Your date of birth is used to verify eligibility and is not recorded or stored.
If you enter a date of birth that is under 18 or if the Orb determines you are under 18 years, you will be blocked from accessing World ID app and verifying at the Orb. If you believe you have been blocked in error, you will either need to provide an additional proof of age (e.g., government issued ID) or contact Support. For further guidance, please see this article.
