Prolific is open to participants from most Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, as long as you're over 18 and have a verified account.
What are the age and account requirements?
You must be over 18 years old, with a created and verified account, to take part in studies. Read more about verification in How do I verify my account?
We don't allow researchers to recruit children as participants. If you come across a study that seems to be recruiting children, contact us using the support icon in the bottom right of your screen, and we'll look into it.

Note: Eligibility is based on where you currently live, not your nationality. So if you're a citizen of a country that isn't on the list above, but you currently live in one of the countries that is, you can still join Prolific.
Can I join or use Prolific if I am not in one of the above supported countries?
If your country isn't supported, you can join our waitlist. We can't guarantee access, but we may reach out if opportunities open up and your profile matches what we're looking for.
In some cases, we invite participants from unsupported countries to join. If we do, you'll need to submit a valid photo ID, ideally your passport, since some other forms of photo ID aren't accepted by our third-party verification partner.
