Across every community where football is played, athletes deserve a level playing field, and that starts with verifying an athlete's age the same way across every team, club, and division.
USA Football's age verification system raises the standard by simplifying verification, safeguarding athlete information, and reducing administrative burden, so league leaders can focus on what matters most.
That's why age verification is included with both the TEAM USA FOOTBALL® Youth Athlete ID and the Youth Athlete Roster Card, providing a safe, secure, and easy-to-use system—For You. For The Game.
A simple and secure way to complete the age verification process.
Age verification is included with the purchase of the Youth Athlete ID or the Youth Athlete Roster Card.
After purchase, upload a digital copy of a State ID, Birth Certificate, Passport, or Military ID.
Uploaded documents are reviewed within 7 business days and destroyed once verification is complete.
Your age verification remains valid as long as your Youth Athlete ID or Youth Athlete Roster Card is active.
🅘Student IDs and temporary or expired driver's licenses are not valid forms of identification and will not be accepted. If denied approval, USA Football's age verification system will send a notification to the athlete or their parent/guardian, along with information on how to resubmit the required documents.
Add Express Age Verification (optional) for $5 when submitting your documents.
Select the TEAM USA FOOTBALL® Youth Athlete ID or the Youth Athlete Roster Card.
