TikTok banned you for being under 13.

Adults get caught by TikTok’s age checks too. Here is how the age appeal works.

Updated 13 November 2026

If TikTok thinks the account holder is under 13, it bans the account and offers an age appeal. Follow the age check in the notice: TikTok may ask for an ID, a selfie, or another age confirmation method shown on screen. Do this quickly and from your usual phone; TikTok gives a limited window before the account can be deleted. If the account belongs to a child who really is under 13, TikTok will not restore it.

Act fast

Age bans have a deadline.

Use the in-app check

Only the method TikTok shows.

Match the account

Same name and birthday as the profile.

Why adults get flagged

A birthday entered wrongly years ago.
Being reported by another user as underage.
Videos that look young to automated review, such as school settings or young-looking faces.
A shared phone where a child also used TikTok.

What to do

Open the ban notice and choose the age appeal option.
Pick the verification method TikTok offers and follow it exactly.
Make sure the photo or ID is clear, in good light, and matches the account name if asked.
Keep the confirmation screen.
If the check fails, wait for TikTok’s reply before trying again.

About your ID

Only upload ID inside TikTok’s own flow. Never send ID photos to people on Instagram, Telegram or WhatsApp who say they work with TikTok. Unbanz never asks for your ID unless a case needs it for TikTok’s own form, and never asks for passwords.
