Age verification is a social feature that allows users to verify their age using the third-party service Persona. Users who are verified can display an age verification marker on their profile; verified users who are 18 or older can gain access to age-restricted instances. It was announced November 27, 2024 on the official VRChat YouTube channel[1].
The verification process is currently available in early access, for all VRChat+ subscribers as of January 28, 2025[2].
Process
The age verification process is conducted through Persona — a third-party verification provider. Users provide a government-issued ID[3] and use a camera-enabled device, such as a smartphone, or computer with a webcam, to complete the process.
Just about any form of government identification can be used depending on the country the user is from, such as, but not limited to:
- Drivers License
- Identification Card
- Passport
- Passport Card
Persona processes the user’s identification and biometrics in accordance with its privacy policy[4], ensuring GDPR, CCPA, and other compliance standards are met[5]. VRChat does not receive or store personal information from the verification process, except for the user’s verified date of birth. Persona operates under a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with VRChat, which requires Persona to operate under GDPR/CCPA for all users regardless of location[6].
Features
Profile marker

Verified users have the option to display a marker on their profile indicating their age verification status. There are two versions of the marker that a verified user can pick from at any time:
- "Age Verified" which any age verified user can use regardless of age.
- "Verified 18+" which can only be used by users who are age verified and are 18 or older.
The marker can also be hidden completely if a user does not want to make their verification status visible to others. Users who are verified 18+ can always access age-restricted instances, regardless of which verification marker is shown publicly on their profile.
The Age Verified marker alone does not indicate a user is 18+, only that they have verified their age. Users who are under 18 (but must be at least 13+) can verify their age with Persona, but will not be able to select the Verified 18+ marker on their profile or access age-restricted instances until they have turned 18.
Age Gated Instances

Groups can create 18+ restricted instances, requiring all participants to be age-verified and 18 or older to join. These restrictions can be applied to public, group-plus, or group-only instances.
Content Gating
年龄验证正在考虑与 内容限制 一起运行,以防止未验证的用户和未满18岁的已验证用户访问标记为“性暗示”和“成人语言及主题”的内容。然而,何时以及如何实现这一功能目前尚未确认[7][8].
推出计划
该功能最初仅限于在测试期内的特定群组,只有选定群组的成员可以申请验证名额并创建年龄限制的实例[1]。
第一次推出于2024年12月17日,多个选定的群组获得了为群组用户提供年龄验证的权限。
2025年1月28日,该功能作为早期访问功能向所有 VRChat+ 订阅者推出。目前尚未确认何时该功能会向所有用户开放。
额外信息
- 验证要求: 用户必须提交一张未编辑的政府身份证照片才能被接受,并完成一项“活跃性检查”,即自拍照,以确保验证者与身份证持有者是同一人[9]。
- 可选: 年龄验证并非使用VRChat的强制要求。然而,若要能够访问年龄限制的实例和功能,用户必须验证其年龄并且年满18岁[10]。
- 数据处理: 身份证数据由Persona保留,直到完成用户出生日期验证并创建一个使用用户提供的身份证数据的唯一单向加密哈希为止。这个哈希将存储在VRChat的服务器上,并与该用户的账户相关联,所有身份证数据将在Persona的端被删除,只有不可逆的加密哈希和用户的已验证出生日期保留在VRChat的服务器上[11]。 ** 注意: 删除VRChat中的验证数据将导致用户账户无法使用,直到他们接受服务条款并重新输入出生日期。这也将导致验证状态从该账户中移除,除非重新验证。
- 每个账户只能使用一个身份证: 一个身份证不能用于验证多个账户。此限制旨在增强信任,并鼓励用户更加重视他们的账户,防止恶意行为[12]。
- 18+ ≠ 色情内容: 18+ 年龄验证或年龄限制实例并不豁免 服务条款 或 社区指南 中关于色情内容的政策。 ** 请参考服务条款第13.2条[13] 以及社区指南[14]。
