The minimum age requirement for Tinder is 18 years old. Depending on your location, you may be required to verify your age to prove that you’re 18 years or older and comply with our Terms of Use.
Verifying your age is easy:
- Open Tinder
- For locations where age verification is required for chat: Go to your match list and tap on a match (any match); have your ID ready and tap Verify My Age
- For all other cases: A prompt will appear on the home screen; have your ID ready and tap Verify Your Age
You’ll be redirected to a webpage, where you’ll follow the instructions and submit your ID to complete your age verification request. You will be under review until your ID has been verified, which can take up to a few hours. Once your ID has been reviewed, we’ll let you know and you can check your status in the app.
Our users' privacy is a top priority. For more information on how we review and process your ID, please refer to this article, explaining how Age Verification works. For more information about our data practices, please refer to our privacy policy.
