# CREDIT CARD

Use the **Credit Card** verification method to confirm that you meet the required age threshold in supported countries.

This method is only available where local rules allow it and where holding a credit card implies the cardholder is over 18. It is not available in US, France or Italy.

**What you need**

* A valid credit card that belongs to you
* An unexpired card
* A supported standard credit card

Unsupported card types:

* Prepaid cards
* Debit cards
* American Express, Discover, and JCB

## <mark style="color:$primary;">How credit card age verification works</mark>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Select the **Credit Card** verification method from the available options.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter your card details, including the card number, expiration date, and CVC or CVV.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Accept the Terms & Conditions and click **Continue**. Your card details are then submitted through our payment service provider.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The system checks the card and places a `0` value authorization to confirm that the card is active.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If the card is valid and accepted, your age is verified.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If verification is successful, you can enter your email address and create an AgeGO account. This helps you avoid full age verification on future visits to websites that use AgeGO.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A 6-digit one-time code is sent to your email address. Enter the code to complete the process and access the site.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If your card is rejected, try a different supported credit card or use another verification method.
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Benefits</mark>

* **Reliable proof:** In supported countries, holding a credit card is accepted as proof that the cardholder is over 18.
* **Quick:** Using a Credit Card for age verification is a common practice, especially online.
* **100% Secure:** No Card details are stored or captured by AgeGO during this process.
