The information below supercedes the User Agreement.<br /><br />When an LDS Account is created by a person between the ages of 8 and 12, a function appears requiring the approval of the parent or guardian, meaning that the system is checking the age of the individual who is registering for the account. In other words, youth between the ages of 8 and 12 can index with parent approval. Individuals between 13 and 18 are encouraged to notify their parents or guardians when creating an LDS account, but no verification is required.<br /><br />When a FamilySearch account is created, no age verification takes place.Bill Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03189884588719495849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9038338942823653267.post-45310867078886631072012-04-01T17:48:32.693-07:002012-04-01T17:48:32.693-07:00How did your 12-year-olds register for an account?...How did your 12-year-olds register for an account? I thought they had to be 13 or older. I think parental approval is required if they are under 18 years old--not under 13.<br /><br />(Would it be possible for me to sign in on the 12-year-olds computers using my account--so they could get started? Not sure how well this would work.)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12868657212357889120noreply@blogger.com
