Porn will no longer be accessible online from next month unless you can prove you are over 18 years old.
A 'porn block' will automatically restrict access to any X-rated websites on all internet providers, banning all users from accessing it so easily.
The ban will be coming into the place as early as April, introduced under new laws.
Users are going to be automatically blocked from sites such as PornHub and YouPorn in a bid to stop children seeing explicit and inappropriate content.
The company behind both these sites have now developed a site called AgeID, so anyone who tries to access one of the porn sites will be directed to this.
You will then be asked to provide your date of birth, and information off your passport, driving licence or credit card, and if you pass the verification you will be given a log in.
This new policy was launched after the NSPCC claimed more than half of teenagers are "stumbling across" porn when on Google.
AgeID has been contacted for comment.
