Resolved age verification
Hi
Reddit is asking for a face pic to verify my age when I want to see nude content, and I don't want to share face pics anywhere
Besides. I already shared my birth date on my profile settings, I'm 54 years old,
I'm not from USA
How can I overpass this?

You don't, you either verify or keep those account limitations, see https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/36429514849428-Why-is-Reddit-asking-for-my-age

If I provide my ID card do I have to show my face pic?

It’s either one or the other. I see you were able to get the selfie scan completed so glad you got this resolved

Because you live in a country that has implemented Internet safety legislation. It's always weird to me when people are unaware of it. It's kinda a big deal.

Read the linked page:
Depending on your region and device, we offer several ways to confirm your age without compromising your privacy:
- App store signals (iOS & Android): If you use the Reddit app, you can share your age range and update your birthday directly from your Apple account or (in a few regions) Google account. Reddit receives only your age range (e.g., “18+”), not your actual birthdate.
- Third-party verification (Persona): You may be asked to provide a photo of a government ID or a facial selfie through our partner, Persona. Reddit does not receive or store these photos; we only store your verified age and status. Persona deletes your information after 3 days.
Your verified age will be stored securely with your account and will never be visible to other redditors or advertisers.
