About Our Secure Age Checks
Age Checks provide a quick and secure way for users to unlock chat on Roblox. This built-in protection helps limit interactions to users who are in a similar age group, enabling you to feel more confident about who your children are chatting with.
No system is foolproof, so we recommend pairing Age Checks with your Parental Controls and using our Parent Resources to talk often with your child about how to stay safe online.
What age checks unlock
By completing the age check process, users can connect with peers and trusted friends.
Chat access

Trusted friends
Through trusted friends, age checked users can chat with people they know and trust. This includes parents and siblings.
Social media links (upcoming)
Only age-checked users who are 13+ years old can view and share social media links on a game’s page, game’s community or a user’s profile. Additionally on user’s profiles, they can only view social links from people in their own age group and similar age groups.
Studio Team Create (upcoming)
Will allow age-checked users to co-create experiences with other users of similar ages and their trusted friends using Team Create, Roblox Studio’s real-time collaboration feature (starting early 2026).
How to complete an age check on Roblox
The fastest way to complete an age check is to use our secure Facial Age Estimation technology. You can also use ID verification with a government-issued ID or verify your child's age using parental controls. If you want to make an update to the result of Facial Age Estimation, you can use ID verification or parental controls to do so.
