I have the shiny new OS and had to go through the UK age verification process.

Despite having the account for more than 20 years it still wanted to know I was older than 18.

It wants a credit card, because you have to be 18 to have a credit card, but there is no law that says you have to have a credit card, I only have a debit card and that was refused

Lets "Try Another Way". In the UK there is no compulsory national identification card and it is not compulsory to be able to drive or have a passport.

In my case it accepted taking a picture of my UK driving license.

I wonder if any kid could just print a fake driving license with their name.
