hi guys i live in the UK and have no driving liscense or passport and i dont think i can use my national insurance number, so any ideas how i do this, i cant send scanned items to lindens in a report as i dont have a scanner, any help would be great.

ps lindens have my card details why cant i use my card for this or they cant just age varify me with details they already have


what a pain in the ass this is

Your profile in-world says you have Payment Info Used. You should be just fine.

Have you testing trying to go to any adult flagged regions?
And, if you are in the 1.23 viewer, did you check to in both Preferences>General and Search if you can search for Adult content?

I have 'payment info used' as well, but there have been a couple of instances where I was unable to enter an adult area. I'd have 'payment info on file' but both my banks don't consider Linden Labs worthy of notice, so I go through PayPal instead. And yes, the proper checkboxes are indeed checked.

I believe there is a difference between being in an adult-flagged sim and being in an adults-only area (as configured by the owner), but I might be wrong. And I'm also guessing that if any landowner really, really wants to make sure their visitors are adults, their traffic will dry up pretty quick from all us adults who don't care to send photocopies of our drivers licenses to LL (or anyone else).

Most likely, yes, the estate owner in your example put a check in the box for "Restrict Access to: Age Verified Adults," when "Residents with payment info on file" is really all that is needed to be in compliance. Maybe they chose the more restrictive access for a particular reason, but as you noted, it will greatly limit who visits their sim.

ty for info but seems payment info isnt enough to get on adult regions

Payment info IS enough to get on adult regions. Chances are the landowner has "age verify" enabled, which is a *totally different process* than gaining access to land rated adult.

Lets clear up some confusion. There are numerous mis-informed people when it comes to this, thanks to LL not giving full details unless you happened to be at the right meetings/forums.

On Private Islands, if you have Adult Content on your parcel, you will be required to have the entire PRIVATE ISLAND flagged *ADULT*, not mature. Setting certain parcels to *age verified only* is NOT the same. If you are on mature mainland, you will be required to MOVE to adult mainland, via renting from a resident or buying land when it goes on auction. Again, setting your parcel to access of *age verified* only is NOT the same as being on *Adult* rated land. Once you are on *Adult* rated land, there is NO NEED to set any additional filters. None. If you are unable to access an *adult* region and you have payment info on file/payment info used, OR are age verified, then the region you are trying to enter has been improperly flagged. a lot of folks believe that simply checking the *age verified* only check box is all they have to do, when in fact, its simply adding yet another restriction when it is not needed.

Hope that helps

It's your choice not to send in the requested (or required) information to be age verified. If you don't trust Linden Lab with that information then by all means do not send it. The estate owners (sim, parcel, et al) who do restrict access to age verified only also have that choice.......if that excludes people, like you, who will not age verify the so be it. I'm sure they know the difference and know who might be excluded but for whatever reason they feel it's best for their needs. As long as those owners keep their access restricted that way and you refuse to do what is necessary to gain that access, you won't be able to go there. What's the big deal?

Accept the choice you made and move on.

As Brie points out, payment info is all that's necessary to get into Adult areas. If the parcel owner has -- either intentionally or as a result of misunderstanding what's required -- set it to Age Verification in the land controls, then that's something completely separate.

If this is really a problem, have you checked with your local library? Depends where you live in the UK, of course, but my library certainly scan and email stuff for a small fee.

I used UK NI no. - was accepted.

Please let the parcel owner know that people do NOT have to age verify - not unless the parcel owner specifically sets the land that way.

If the parcel owner flags the land PROPERLY, as Adult, then anyone who is payment verified can ALSO get in. This means a credit card or paypal in use at the website here (for buying Linden) or on X Street. They will also need the latest viewer installed (1.23) if they are payment info only at X Street.

Misinformation bugs me.

Andreaus, just a wild guess here, but have you gone into Preferences and indicated in the drop-down (I can't remember which page it's on) that you want to view PG, Mature, and Adult content?

You can have payment info on file, you can age verify with Aristotle, but if you don't change that setting you won't get adult content - AND you have to change it for each account. (This tripped me up with an alt account several months ago.)

Hope you're able to get it squared away.

When are why are people getting asked to send photocopies and stuff? I stuck in my Canadian SIN number (SSN) and it verified me in like 5 seconds.

Just wondering as I sometimes end up trying to help others with this and have never heard of anyone being asked for hard copies of ID.

yes because even teens can have payments infos..dads credit card f.i.

yeah thats pretty true BUT....

I'm not. I doubt one in twenty people who set the "age verified" access control restriction on their parcel or estate have the slightest idea of what they're doing actually means, what the consequences are, and what alternatives they have. It's a confusing and unnecessary option that needs to be removed from the client and servers.

Yep. A neighbor has an age-verify ban line around his house. No idea why.

So does the always empty basic pole dancing club across the way.

Both mainland.
