# Can I Set Up Age Verification In my Mighty Network?

Yes you can! This guide is for setting up [Yoti](https://www.yoti.com/), a third-party platform and approved Ofcom provider that meets OSA regulatory requirements for age verification for content in your Network.

## Part 1: Set up Yoti

1. **Submit Yoti's interest form.**

   * [Submit Yoti's form](https://www.yoti.com/contact/business/) and note that it's for Mighty Networks. When reaching out, refer to their no-code portal, Digital I.D. option.

2. **Complete onboarding with Yoti.**

   * Verify your business with Yoti and complete their additional onboarding steps.

3. **Create your Yoti verification application.**

   * In Yoti, set up and configure the app you'll use to send verification sessions.

**Questions while setting up Yoti? [Yoti's support team can help you](https://yoti.my.site.com/yotisupport/s/contactsupport).**

## Part 2: Configure your Mighty Network

Age verification with Yoti works through [Screening Questions and Approvals](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/payments-and-access/can-i-set-up-questions-and-approval-for-my-members) on Mighty Networks. These features are only available on Plans.

Any content that needs age verification must be behind a [Plan](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/payments-and-access/how-do-i-create-a-plan).

## 🟡 If it's just some content that needs age verification

**Step 1:** Move that content into its own **Space** (if it's not already). This makes it easier to apply age verification without changing access to your entire Network.

**Step 2:** [Create a Plan](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/payments-and-access/how-do-i-create-a-plan) that includes that Space.

## 🟠 If you're age-gating an existing Space (or multiple Spaces)

**Step 1:** If those Spaces aren't already part of a Plan, create one (or more).

You can either:

* Make one Plan per Space, or

* Bundle them together in a single Plan, depending on how you sell access.

## 🔴 If the entire Network needs age verification

**Step 1:** [Create a Plan](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/payments-and-access/how-do-i-create-a-plan) that includes **Network Access**.

**Step 2:** Add any other Spaces that the member should get access to upon joining the Network.

For additional help on Plans, check out our full guide on setting up Plans here.

**🟢 Once your Plans are set up**,

1. **Turn on Screening Questions and Approval for all Plans.**

   * Go to the Plan your new members will join.

   * Enable Screening Questions and Approval ([see here for more details](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/payments-and-access/can-i-set-up-questions-and-approval-for-my-members)).​

2. **Add a clear Screening Question.**

   * Use this text (copy/paste):​\*"An age-verification link will be sent to your email. Please answer 'Yes' below to confirm you understand it's required and that you will complete it."\*

## Part 3: Verify existing members

1. **Export your current UK members.**

   * Export your **[Member List](https://docs.mightynetworks.com/for-hosts/analytics-and-integrations/can-i-download-my-member-data)** and filter for members located in the **UK**.

2. **Send Yoti verification sessions in bulk.**

   * Use Yoti's **bulk upload** (up to **200** people at a time) to send verification links.

3. **Notify your members of the requirement with a deadline.**

   * Let them know when verification is due and that **unverified accounts may be removed** after that date.

## After Setup

## How the new-member flow works

1. A person signs up for a **Plan** that has **Screening Questions** and **Approval** turned on.

2. They see your Screening Question that says an **age-verification link** was sent by email and they must complete it.

3. Once they submit their Screening Question, you'll receive a notification that someone wants to join the Plan. Then you will **send a Yoti verification session** to the applicant.

4. Once Yoti shows **verified**, you **approve** them in Mighty to join the Plan.

5. After approval, they can access the community.

## How the existing-member flow works

1. Export your **Member List** and filter for **UK** members.

2. Use Yoti's **bulk upload** (up to **200** people at once) to send verification sessions.

3. Customize the email to include the **deadline** and **reason**.

4. When the deadline passes, **cross-check** Yoti's **verified list** with your Mighty Networks **Member List** and **remove** any who did not verify.
