National jurisdiction · as of 2026-09-07
Mongolia's Law on Child Protection (5 February 2016, in force 1 September 2016) requires a citizen or legal entity possessing rights in the internet environment to maintain a special service package for children and, when concluding a service contract, to ask whether children under 18 are in the customer's care and agree whether adult-channel services will be used (art. 8.6).
The same Law separately bars publicizing, through newspapers, television, radio, or a digital network, the identity of a child reported to have committed or been the victim of a crime or violation (art. 8.4), a duty that runs to identifying disclosure rather than to age verification or gating, so it is described here rather than landed as a separate instrument.
The Law on Cybersecurity (adopted 2021, in force 1 May 2022), read in full for this jurisdiction's ai topic, contains no provision addressing a minor's access to a service. The Law on the Rights of the Child (2016), the Law on Broadcasting (2019), and the Law on Combating Cybercrime (2021) are not described here, and the Communications Regulatory Commission's own site (crc.gov.mn) renders only a client-side navigation shell.

In force
Law of Mongolia on Child Protection, 5 February 2016 (in force 1 September 2016), art. 8.6
Effective 2016-09-01 · Applies to private
A citizen or legal entity possessing rights in the internet environment must maintain a special package of services devoted to children. When concluding a service contract, that citizen or legal entity must ask whether there are children under the age of 18 in the customer's care, and agree with the customer whether to use special channel services for adults.
The duty is part of the Law's original 2016 text; unlike the neighbouring paragraphs of the same article, it carries no later amendment note. Liability for a breach of the Law's child-protection duties is left to a separate Law on Violations, and, for conduct that amounts to a crime, to the Criminal Code; this Law states no fine or penalty figure of its own for art. 8.6.
