iOS 27 age verification not working

I can’t get the camera to turn on for age verification on iOS 27. I’ve tried restarting my phone multiple times, tried on my iPad, nothing works. I don’t have a credit card so I can’t enter details manually either. I’m just stuck on this page.

If you do not have a Credit card you can use: Your passport (available in Australia, Singapore, the UK, and Texas in the United States), driver's license, or government-issued ID


Apple Account age requirements

Where required by law, these age confirmation requirements apply to Apple Accounts in Australia, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and the United States (Texas):

  • Adults will have to confirm their age to use certain services or features, take certain actions on their account, or when they create a new Apple Account.
  • You can confirm your age with a credit card that belongs to you or by scanning your passport (available in Australia, Singapore, the UK, and Texas in the United States), driver's license, 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.
