If you have a driving license, you can also use that.

If you have neither, then there's no other way to verify your age at this time. You will need to wait until Apple adds additional options or the UK Parliament approves additional options. At this time it's unclear who determines the available age verification options.


You will want to contact Apple Support and let them know it's not possible to verify your age.
