    The National Authority for Protection of Data (ANPD), Brazil’s data protection authority, has opened a consultation on previously released guidance regarding the adoption of reliable age verification mechanisms by suppliers of information technology products and services aimed at children and adolescents.

    The consultation relates to the agency’s preliminary guidelines on age verification, which were released in March. The preliminary guidance presented initial parameters for the implementation of the mechanisms contemplated in Brazil’s Digital Child and Adolescent Statute (Digital DCA), which was enacted in September 2025, and Decree No. 12.880 of March 18, which was designed to provide predictability and legal certainty to regulated entities (CPR, March 23).

    The consultation aims to update the preliminary guidelines to present general instructions regarding the application of reliable age verification mechanisms by suppliers of information technology products or services directed at children and adolescents, ANPD said Friday in a news release. Specifically, the agency intends to add new sections to the guide to address key concepts related to age verification, along with the digital chain of responsibilities and specific requirements for use of technical solutions like facial recognition and document verification.

    “The Age Verification Guide is an important milestone for the implementation of the Digital ECA,” said Lucas Borges de Carvalho, ANPD’s superintendent of regulation. “The guidelines presented to society in this consultation seek to establish the regulatory conditions for guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents in the digital environment and to provide greater predictability and legal certainty in the implementation of the new rules.”

    Interested parties can respond to the call for comments from the consultation page. ANPD is accepting feedback through July 9.
