It depends on how AV is implemented. Google can either ask for your ID card, that would be inherently non-anonymous and prevent you from creating a burner account, if they would store the information of your id card – which of course Google would never do (/s). The other option would be a third party would check your ID an provide Google only with the information that the request is done by somebody of legal age.

There is no safe way to aggregate such identity information in an internet-connected database. They always get breached. Discord tried to do this and all the collected IDs got stolen almost immediately. arstechnica.com/…/discord-faces-backlash-over-age… No party can be trusted to store identification information safely.
