Some Apple Account settings and feature requirements for children, teens and adults will vary depending on your country or region.
These age confirmation requirements apply to Apple Accounts in Singapore, South Korea and the UK:
Adults will have to confirm their age to use certain services or features, or take certain actions on their account.
You can confirm your age with a credit card that belongs to you or by scanning your passport (available in Singapore and the UK), driving licence or government-issued ID. Debit cards and gift cards aren't supported.
If you already have an Apple Account, Apple will check if you have a credit card on file or other eligible methods available to confirm that you’re 18 or older.
If you choose not to confirm your age, you can continue to use your device – but you might need to confirm before using certain services or features or taking certain actions on your account.
