Minor's Registration

If enabled, minor registration prompts users to state whether they are over or under 16. All users under 16 require parent/guardian consent before their registration is completed and they can use their account.

On click of Register, the registration form is displayed which asks the user if they are older than 16. The user may click on “Yes” or “No”.

If the user clicks on “No”, an input field for the parent/guardian’s email address is displayed. The user cannot complete the registration without entering the parent/guardian’s email address.

After entering the email address and clicking on Register, an email address is sent to the parent/guardian to confirm that they are approving the registration. The parent/guardian has 30 days from the date that the email is sent to verify the minor’s registration. The minor’s registration is not completed and they may not use their account before this approval.
