The Digital ECA: Important context for Brazil's age assurance regulation
The Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents (Digital Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente or Lei 15.211/2025) is a new law outlining age assurance (garantia de idade) requirements in Brazil. Also known as the Digital ECA, it was enacted in September 2025 and goes beyond self-attestation, applying to a wider range of online platforms that offer certain services. On March 17, 2026, the Digital ECA will become enforceable.
