Claude now blocks under-18 accounts and offers Yoti age verification for reinstatement
↗
Claude now restricts its consumer product to users 18 and older, with Yoti age verification for those flagged as underage.
Engineers integrating Claude must account for age restrictions and the Yoti verification flow. Users flagged as minors will have accounts disabled until they verify age, which could interrupt automated workflows. The verification process keeps personal data with Yoti, not Anthropic.
Written by elseif from the cluster below · every claim links back to a sourceThe three things worth knowing
Claude is only available to users over 18, and accounts are disabled based on indicators of minor activity.
Users can verify age via Yoti using facial estimation, ID upload, or the Digital ID app.
Anthropic receives only a pass/fail result and does not store personal data from verification.
