Google provides two alternatives for age verification, a credit card payment and sending an electronic copy of a valid government issued ID.
This explanation seems to be quite terse, "If you use a credit card, any temporary authorization will be fully refunded. If you use an ID, Google will delete the image after verifying your age."
Both methods would require me to provide them (or some other entity) new personal data. In the case of credit card payment, credit card number (and thus what bank I am using, maybe also what kind of card I have) and my home address.
My government issued ID has also other information like a photo of me, my signature, social security number, all my given names and card number. I wonder if they would accept an electronic copy that would have all those covered.
