I am still not age verified even though i have a card on my account, why?

Hello, did you just now enter your card information? It might take a few to kick in. Also, you might wanna go buy something, even if it's only 1L, it might kick the wheels into motion, try it and see what happens.

You sound like you are confusing Age Verification & Account Verification.

Account verfied is when you have payment info on file or payment info used (if you are outside US).

Age verified is when you have done the automated age verification process or submitted a ticket for manual verification.

Both types of verification allow you access to adult content, the only difference is that on a few land parcels the owner has specified age verification as a requirement for access & account verification won`t get you in them.

Also with both types, you need to go to your preferences & increase your maturity rating.

Alright, there are a couple issues here which have been made more muddled by the answers so far. This is not surprising considering the Lindens made it very confusing in the first place.

 

Alright, first, there are TWO ways to "age verify".

One is to do the "Identity Verification" through the website by providing one of the accepted government ID numbers.

The second is through "Payment Method Verification", where you attach a payment method to your account. To do this you need to actually use the payment method in SL at least once. Buy yourself a couple dollars worth of Linden Dollars or something.

 

Keep in mind once you do this you need to manually, through the SL viewer preferences, set yourself up to see all levels of content ratings.

Once that is done you should be able to access nearly all content in SL regardless of the verification method you chose.

 

 Also keep in mind, however, that even though LL provides two methods of age verifying, they left in two ways of blocking unverified accounts. They left in the abiltiy to lock out those who have not ID verified and those who have not verified their payment information. You may run in to either, although both are extremely rare as they are practically useless to the person using them and only succeed in keeping out the horse of SL users who have verified in the way not accepted on that person's land.  (Hilariously enough, selecting to block both those who have not ID verified and those who have not verified their payment info means you only allow in the miniscule number of SL users who have done both.)

I think you will find that your answer is "muddled". Account verification is NOT the same as age verification, if you are account verified and you try to enter a parcel set for age verified only, you will not get it. It will send you to the website to get age verified.

 

Fortunately, there are not too many owners setting their land to age verified only, so for the most part you can get by with just being account verified.

Thank you.

@ Shams, you will get better responses by starting your own question instead of posting to one that has already been answered.
