These age confirmation requirements apply to Apple Accounts in the UK:
Adults will have to confirm that they're 18 or older 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, driving licence, or one of the following PASS-accredited Proof of Age cards: CitizenCard, My ID Card, TOTUM ID card or Young Scot National Entitlement Card. 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.
Web Content Filter and Communication Safety are turned on automatically for kids and teens as well as adults who haven’t confirmed their age.
If you choose not to confirm your age, you can continue to use your device – but you need to confirm your age before you can adjust these safety settings.
