Age verification in France: Arcom requirements, double-blind privacy, and how to comply in 2025
Blog post from Didit
France has implemented stringent age-verification requirements for platforms providing access to pornographic content, underpinned by the SREN Law and enforced by Arcom. These regulations mandate the use of at least two age-verification methods, one of which must employ a double-blind privacy model, ensuring that verification is independent of the platform, includes per-session proofs, and incorporates anti-spoofing and liveness controls. Aimed at safeguarding minors, these rules apply to any service accessible from France, regardless of where it is hosted, and require compliance by January 2025. Non-compliance can result in significant fines, ISP blocking, and de-indexing. The Didit Age Estimation system offers a solution by providing a low-friction, privacy-focused verification process using AI-driven selfies and liveness detection, with a fallback to document verification for borderline cases, aligning with the French framework's emphasis on privacy, reliability, and data minimization while maintaining a user-friendly experience.
