Central African Republic

National jurisdiction · as of 2026-09-22

No enacted or proposed Central African statute regulating age verification for adult content, restricting a minor's access to a social media platform, requiring device- or app-store-level age verification, or imposing an age-appropriate design code has been located.

Loi n° 24.001 portant protection des données à caractère personnel, the country's comprehensive data-protection statute, requires a holder of parental responsibility to consent to or authorize the processing of a minor's personal data, including for a direct offer of information-society services to a child, but that is a parental-consent requirement inside the general data-protection regime rather than a duty to verify a user's age before granting or restricting access to a service, and it is documented as this jurisdiction's privacy-topic instrument rather than repeated here.

Article 111 of the Code Pénal Centrafricain (Loi n° 10.001 du 6 janvier 2010) criminalizes a pornographic act involving a child, documented as this jurisdiction's ai-topic instrument for its bearing on synthetic content, but it is a criminal prohibition on producing or distributing such material rather than an age-verification or age-gating duty on a service, and it fits none of this topic's four registered law families.
