# Verification Methods

## <mark style="color:$primary;">The Age Verification Process</mark>

Websites offering age-restricted content can use different age verification solutions. AgeGO is chosen by platforms across multiple regulated industries to ensure compliant and user-friendly age verification.\
&#x20;\
Age verification only needs to be done once using AgeGO,  then you can view any +18 content website that uses AgeGO as its age verification solution at anytime without having to repeat the process.\
&#x20;\
So if you want to know "How do I verify my age?" you will be happy to know that all of AgeGO's age verification methods are free, secure and respect your privacy. We do not store any personal information supplied for your age verification process. \
&#x20;\
Several age verification methods are available to end users. Please note that available methods may vary depending on the country and local regulatory requirements. For example, Credit Card verification is not available in the United States, France, or Italy.
