Discord has announced that, in March 2026, it will begin rolling out what it calls "teen-by-default settings" for everyone worldwide, requiring all users to complete an age verification process to avoid restrictions on content, settings, and communication. That process will require you to either scan your face or submit your government-issued ID.

If you'd rather not let the app scan your face or ID, here's what will happen if you don't verify your age on Discord.
