The voice chat is an in-game feature that allows users to communicate through real voice within the supported experiences. Imagine it as a voice call among a group of people, but in a game – all people in the same experience who have voice chat turned on can hear and speak to each other.
The availability of the feature will be indicated by a small microphone icon located beside the public chat button. When you are active, you can speak and hear. Otherwise, you will not hear any voice audio of other players. Here is a full tutorial on how to enable voice chat in Roblox – with or without an ID card.
Requirements for Enabling Voice Chat on Roblox
In order to activate the mic, you have to pass through the age-verification procedures of Roblox:
1. You must be 17 or older
Voice chat is limited to those users who are over the age limit officially. Roblox authenticates this with ID and face scan.
2. You need a valid ID
In case you do not have a national ID card, you may use other official documents like:
- Driver’s license
- Passport
- Any government-issued ID with name, photo, and date of birth
3. Face scan is required
The system also scans the face even when you post the ID of another person (such as a parent) so that the face should match the ID. It will not work with the ID of another person.
Important reminder: Do not attempt to coerce the verification process in case you are underage. Voice chat may put you in dangerous or unsuitable circumstances when you are unprepared. Be careful and wait till you are grown.
How to Turn On Voice Chat in Roblox
Step 1: Open Settings
Go to More Menu → Settings → Account Info.
Step 2: Find the Age Verification Section
Find the label: “Verify your age to access more features.”
You will see two options:
- Selfie (Face-only scan)
- ID Verification
Voice chat cannot be unlocked in the selfie method. It provides access to other features only partially. In order to use voice chat, select Continue with ID.
Step 3: Upload Your ID
You’ll be redirected to a browser page.
- Select your country
- Choose National ID (or the equivalent in your region)
- Prepare your ID for scanning
Tips for successful ID upload:
- Ensure that the photo part of the ID is in line with the frame that appears on the screen.
- Should the ID orientation be inverted (e.g. the photo on the ID is on the right and the system is supposed to be on the left), then just invert the ID when taking the photo.
It can be read by Roblox, however, alignment is more important than orientation.
Step 4: Complete the Face Scan
Do as you are directed on the screen – you might be requested to blink, shake your head or to look about. After that, you should be verified, and voice chat must be enabled.
PC Users Tip: In case your mic option has not been found after the verification, uninstall Roblox and reinstall it on the official Roblox site, not on the Microsoft Store.
Can You Verify Roblox Without a National ID?
Yes, you are not restricted to a National ID.
Roblox accepts:
- Passports
- Driver’s licenses
- Official student IDs (with government/logo validation)
- Any government-issued document with photo + name + date of birth
Age verification can be done using the ID provided it is legitimate and recognizable.
All in all, it is easy to activate Roblox voice chat when you are old enough and you have a valid ID and a scan on your face. Selfie only will not unlock the feature but any official document containing your photo and date of birth will. Just follow the instructions, upload your ID, and reinstall Roblox in case the mic does not show up, and you are ready to have a safer and smoother in-game conversation.
