Tips for Completing Age Assurance

Follow these guidelines to help ensure your age assurance process goes smoothly:

1. Glare & Lighting

  • Keep your lights on and make sure the light shines directly on your face.
  • Avoid having bright lights behind or below you — they can create glare or shadows.

2. Image & Profile Positioning

  • Position the camera at eye level, point it directly at your face, and look straight into the lens.
  • Make sure to disable any filters or effects so your image appears natural and avoids looking like a deepfake.

3. Multiple Faces

  • Make sure you’re the only person in the frame. Verification can fail if more than one face is detected.

4. Blur & Movement

  • Keep your movements slow and steady. Try not to shake your head or move too quickly while taking selfies.

5. Face Coverings

  • Remove masks, sunglasses, or anything else covering your face to ensure the clearest possible image.

6. Submitting an ID

If your flow includes providing an ID:

  • Take a clear, glare-free photo
  • Use a solid background
  • Position your ID straight and fully within the frame
  • The image must be of a physical ID, not a digital or electronic copy 

Forms of acceptable ID: 

  • Driver's license 
  • Certificate of Citizenship
  • Consular ID
  • Identification Card
  • Passport
  • Passport Card
  • Permanent Residence Card
  • Immigration Visa
