Online Safety & Age Verification (UK)
Last updated: 23 Oct 2025
Important Notice – Action Required Due to new UK Online Safety regulations, erotic or sexually explicit photos are no longer allowed on our platform. Please remove any explicit images from your profile or listings as soon as possible. Profiles containing such photos will not be deleted, but the images will be automatically blurred to comply with the law. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. - The Shemale.UK Team
Age Verification
There are two ways to verify your age:
-
Card Payment Verification – Premium members who complete a paid membership are automatically verified as 18+, since card transactions can only be made by adults.
-
Yoti Verification – You can also verify your age quickly and securely through Yoti.com, using your passport or national ID. Facial age estimation Users capture a selfie using their device camera and Yoti’s algorithm estimates their age via facial analysis. Our technology is independently tested and its accuracy is continuously improved. As of September 2024, the True Positive Rate (proportion of cases correctly classified) for 13 to 17 year olds being correctly estimated as under 21 is 99.3%.
We store only minimal verification data — no card details are ever stored.
Data shared through Yoti is handled securely and in accordance with both Yoti’s and our own privacy policies.
Scope & Eligibility (18+ only)
