4. Enter your birthday and Continue.

  • We use your date of birth to help verify your identity.

5. Enter your email and create a new password for your PlayVS Parent Account.

6. Enter your first and last name then Continue.

7. An email will be sent to you to confirm your identity. The subject title is “Confirm that you’re an adult for PlayVS”. Open the email and click I’m an Adult.

8. A new window will open for you to “Choose a method to verify that you are an adult.”

9. Choose Last 4 digits of SSN or Credit or Debit Card for Stripe to verify you by charging a small fee to your card. The small fee will be refunded after.

US parents can use CC or their Social Security Number and Canada parents can use CC or an ID Scan.

10. Once you choose a method of adult verification, then:

  • Enter the last 4 digits of your social security.

  • Enter your full credit or debit card number, expiry date, and security code. Then click Charge and Refund My Card.

13. On your Parent Dashboard, your profile should now include an orange button to Create Child Account.

The verification process is managed by Stripe. PlayVS does not collect any credit or debit card information at any point during this verification process. Kids Web Services (KWS) will charge a small fee of $.05 to the user’s card and fully refund it in approximately 7-13 business days.
