How to Enable ID Verification and Age-Based Validation
This guide explains how to enable ID verification in HubSpot and configure age-based identity validation.
This is typically used when members within a specific age range must be validated, for example when they are exempt from VAT.
Step 1 — Open System Settings
-
From the Dashboard, go to System Settings.
-
Scroll to the section called Member Account Requirements.
Step 2 — Enable ID Verification
-
Find the setting Require identity verification.
-
Enable (check) this option.
This activates ID validation for members.
Step 3 — Force Identity Validation
-
Enable Force identity verification.
This means:
-
All members within the selected age range must validate their identity
-
Members cannot continue without completing validation
Step 4 — Set ID Validation Fees
-
Configure the identity verification fees, if applicable.
-
Set the amount charged for ID validation.
This fee will apply when validation is required.
Step 5 — Set Age Range
-
Define the age interval where ID validation is required.
-
Example:
-
From age 18
-
To age 30
-
Only members within this age range will be required to validate their identity.
Why Use Age-Based ID Validation?
This setup is often used for members who are:
-
Exempt from VAT
-
Required to confirm their age and identity for legal or financial reasons
Step 6 — Save Settings
-
Save your changes.
ID verification is now active and enforced for the selected age group.
