How to Verify Your Age (18+) Without a Credit Card

If the App Store asks you to confirm you’re 18+ (as required by Singapore law), you don’t need a credit card. You can verify with a National ID (NRIC/FIN) or a Driving Licence instead.

Applies to: iPhone (iOS 26.4 and later)

  1. 1

    Start Verification

    When the “Confirm You Are 18+” screen appears, tap Continue to open Apple’s secure verification portal.

  2. 2

    Bypass the Credit Card Prompt

    The portal may prompt for a credit card first. To verify with an ID:

    • Do not scan your card.
    • Tap Enter Credit Card Manually.
  3. 3

    Choose Another Way

    On the manual entry screen:

    • Scroll to the very bottom of the page.
    • Tap Try Another Way.
    • You’ll see: “Use an ID to confirm you are 18+ (Driving Licence or National ID).” Tap Continue.
  4. 4

    Verify Using ID

    Follow the on-screen steps to verify your age using your ID.

  5. 5

    Finalize & Download

    Wait while Apple processes your documents. Once you see the confirmation screen, return to the App Store and download the app.

Tip: If the download is still blocked after verification, close and reopen the App Store, then try again.
