How to Fix “Not Eligible” on TikTok (4 Easy Steps)

Did you get an “Not Eligible” error when trying to sign up for an account?

Here’s the full error message, “Sorry, it looks like you’re not eligible to use TikTok… but thanks for checking us out!”.

Maybe you accidentally chose a birthday that is not eligible for TikTok.

Or maybe you don’t qualify but find a way around.

If you’re trying to fix an error, you may have tried various solutions on the web.

However, the majority of solutions on the web don’t work.

In this guide, you will learn how to fix the “Not Eligible” error on TikTok in 4 easy steps.

At the end of the tutorial, you should be able to successfully create a TikTok account and log into it.

Why does it say you are not eligible for TikTok?

You received an “Not Eligible” error message on TikTok because you selected a date of birth under the age of 13.

If you have selected a date of birth under the age of 13, you will not be able to create an account.

This is because TikTok is only for people 13 and older.

That said, if you choose a birthday under 13, you’ll get the message “Sorry, it doesn’t seem like you’re eligible for TikTok… but thanks for checking out us!” error.

How to Fix “Not Eligible” on TikTok

To fix the “Not Eligible” error on TikTok, you need to register an account on the TikTok website.

Alternatively, you can try clearing the cache for the TikTok app or reinstalling.

After you sign up for an account on the TikTok website, open the TikTok app and log in with the account you just created.

The “Not Eligible” error can be bypassed by registering an account on the TikTok website.

This is because you selected an ineligible date of birth when you signed up for an account on the TikTok app and not on the website.

If you sign up for a new account on the TikTok website, the error message will not be displayed unless you enter the ineligible date of birth again.

Here’s a step-by-step guide (with pictures) on how you can do this.

Step #1: Go to TikTok.com and select “Sign In”

Go to TikTok.com > select the “Sign In” button.

First, go to TikTok.com in your browser.

The reason is because using TikTok in the browser allows you to bypass the “Not Eligible” error because it only shows up on the app.

You can use the desktop to access the website or the browser on your device (e.g. Safari, Chrome).

After visiting the TikTok website, you will see a login button on the top navigation bar.

Select “Log In” to get to the login screen.

In the next few steps, you will learn how to sign up for a new account on the TikTok website.

Step #2: Select “Register”

At the bottom of the screen, select the “Sign Up” link (red).

After you have selected the “Log In” button from the previous step, you will come to the login page.

On the login page, there are many options you can choose from—Login with Facebook, Google, LINE, etc.

Also, the login screen has a link where you can sign up for a new account if you don’t already have one.

Since you do not have an account, you must create one.

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a message that says “Don’t have an account? Register”.

Select the “Register” link (red) to register an account.

In the next step, you will have to follow the on-screen instructions to sign up for an account.

Step #3: Make sure to choose a qualifying date of birth

Complete the on-screen instructions (make sure to select a qualifying date of birth).

Once on the sign up screen, you’ll be presented with multiple options to sign up—Use phone or email, Continue with Facebook, etc.

Select the “Use phone or email” option.

Once you have selected the “Use phone or email” option, you will be prompted to enter your date of birth.

This is the most important step because you won’t be able to create an account if you enter an ineligible date of birth.

Be sure to enter a birthday that is 13 years or older (e.g. January 1, 2000).

After you have entered your qualifying date of birth, select “Next”.

Then choose your phone number or email to verify your account.

If you are using a phone, a code will be sent to your phone number.

Similarly, if you are using email, the code will be sent to your inbox.

Next, create a password that is 8 to 20 characters long and has a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.

Then, select “Next” and complete the human verification.

Finally, enter the verification code sent to your phone number/email.

Congratulations, you have successfully created a TikTok account.

In the final step, you will have to open the TikTok app and log in with the new account you just created.

Step #4: Open the TikTok app and sign in with your account

Open the TikTok application > log in to the account you just created.

Once you’ve created an account on the TikTok website, open the TikTok app.

On the login screen, enter your account’s email address and password.

Then, select “Sign In” to log into your account.

At this point, the “Not Eligible” error will not be displayed and you will be able to log in to the application.

Congratulations, you have successfully fixed the “Not Eligible” error on TikTok by creating an account on the TikTok website and logging in with that account.

What is the eligible age for TikTok?

According to TikTok, the app is only for people 13 and older.

If you’re under 13, you won’t be able to create a TikTok account.

On TikTok’s Terms of Service, the phrase “13 years or older” was mentioned 5 times:

According to “2. Service Description”, “3. Accept the Terms”, “7. Your use of the Service”, “11. Other Terms”, and another “11. Other Terms” in “Additional Terms – Specific Jurisdiction”.

Conclusion

Most apps on the app stores require their users to be 13 years or older due to their nature.

TikTok is no exception as some user-generated content is not suitable for children.

If you enter your birthday under 13 years old, you will not be able to create a TikTok account.

In summary, there are several ways you can use to fix the “Not Eligible” error:

• Sign up for an account via the TikTok website.
• Clear cache on TikTok and reinstall.

In summary, registering an account via the TikTok website is your best bet as it will ignore the error message.
