How to Change Your Age on Discord

If your birthday is wrong on Discord, you generally cannot edit it directly in your profile settings. You can ask Discord Support to correct your birth date by submitting an age update request and, if requested, providing the verification they specify.

What You’ll Need

Access to the email address associated with your Discord account, so you can submit the request and receive replies.
Your correct date of birth and Discord username or account details.
A government-issued ID may be required for verification. Only provide documentation through Discord’s official support process, and follow its instructions about what information to show.
If Discord asks for a photo of you holding your ID and a note with your Discord username, prepare it only after reading the current request requirements.

Step-by-Step

Check whether the account is restricted. If Discord has locked your account after detecting an age issue, look for an in-app notice or email explaining the restriction. Follow the appeal or age-verification link provided there if one is available. Avoid creating another account to get around an age gate.
Open Discord’s official support site. In a browser, go to support.discord.com and choose the option to submit a request. Make sure the address is Discord’s support domain before entering account details or uploading documents. You can also reach Support through Discord’s Help Center.
Choose the relevant request category. Select the category or form for age updates, age verification, or an account access issue, depending on what is available and your situation. Discord may change the names or layout of its forms, so use the closest matching age-related option rather than a general feature request.
Enter the account information accurately. Provide the email linked to the account and the username or other identifiers requested. Enter your correct date of birth in the format the form asks for. Do not send a guessed or different birth date to try to change which features are available.
Explain the issue clearly. State that the birth date on your account is incorrect and that you want it corrected. If you are locked out, say so and include the wording of the notice you see. Keep the explanation factual; do not include passwords, authentication codes, or unrelated private information.
Attach verification only when requested. Read the form’s current instructions before uploading an ID or selfie. Discord may require proof that you meet the applicable age requirement and that you control the account. If the instructions allow sensitive details to be obscured, do so as directed; do not alter or obscure information Discord specifically says must remain visible.
Submit the request and save its confirmation. Note the support ticket number or keep the confirmation email. Reply to follow-up questions in the same ticket where possible, and check spam or junk folders for messages from Discord Support.
Wait for Discord’s decision. Support must review the request; a submitted form does not guarantee a change or immediate access. Follow any additional verification steps they send. Once the account is updated or restored, sign out and back in if the change does not appear right away.

Common Mistakes

Looking for a birthday field in profile settings. Discord does not generally offer a self-service date-of-birth editor. Changing your display name, profile, or account email will not correct the age on record.
Using the wrong account email. A request sent from an address that is not associated with the account can make it harder for Support to confirm account ownership. Use the linked address if you can access it.
Sending documents through an unofficial channel. Do not post an ID in a public server, send it to a stranger claiming to be staff, or follow links from unsolicited messages. Use only the official support form or a verified ticket conversation.
Submitting multiple conflicting requests. Duplicate tickets can slow down review. If you need to add information, reply to your existing ticket unless Support tells you otherwise.
Providing inconsistent information. Make sure the date in your explanation matches the date on the verification documents and the request form. Incorrect or misleading information can prevent a successful review.

Tips

Use a short, specific subject such as “Incorrect date of birth on my account.” Include only the details needed to identify and resolve the issue.
Read Discord’s current privacy and verification instructions before sharing an ID. If you are uncomfortable providing the requested information, ask Support whether another verification method is available rather than improvising.
If the account belongs to a minor, have a parent or guardian help with the support request and document handling where appropriate. Do not submit someone else’s ID as if it were yours.
Keep your ticket number and copies of the messages you send. Never include your password, recovery codes, or one-time login codes in a support request.
Age requirements and access restrictions can vary by location and feature. A corrected birth date does not necessarily make every server or feature available.

Troubleshooting

You cannot sign in because Discord says your account is age-restricted: Use the appeal or verification instructions shown on the screen, or submit an age-related request through the official support site. Include the email on the account and the restriction notice. Do not try to bypass the restriction with a new account.

You cannot access the account’s email: First try to recover that email account through its provider. If you cannot, contact Discord Support and explain the situation, supplying the account identifiers it requests. Support may need additional evidence to confirm you own the account.

The form will not accept your request or an attachment: Check that required fields are complete and that the file meets the form’s stated format and size limits. Try a current browser or another device, and disable extensions that may interfere with the form. Do not email sensitive documents unless Discord explicitly directs you to do so through an official support channel.

You have not received a reply: Check spam and junk folders, confirm that you used the right email address, and look for the ticket confirmation. Allow time for review; if there is no confirmation or the ticket appears closed, reply to the existing email thread or submit one concise follow-up through the official Help Center.

Support declines the request: Read the reason and instructions carefully. If you have new, relevant evidence or believe information was entered incorrectly, reply to the ticket with a clear correction. A new request with the same information is unlikely to help, and Support may not be able to make an exception to age requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my age in Discord settings?
No. Discord generally requires you to contact Support to correct a date of birth already associated with an account.

Will Discord ask me for ID?
It may request identity or age verification. The exact documents and instructions can vary, so follow the requirements shown in the official support process.

Can I change my age without proving it?
There is no guaranteed way to do so. If Discord requires verification, ask Support whether an alternative is available; do not submit false information.

How long does an age correction take?
Review time can vary, and Discord does not guarantee an immediate decision. Keep your ticket confirmation and watch the associated email for follow-up.

Will correcting my birthday unlock every server?
Not necessarily. Access can depend on Discord’s rules, local requirements, and individual server settings, even after an account detail is corrected.

What if I entered the wrong date by mistake?
Submit an age-related request through Discord Support, explain the mistake, and provide the correct date and any verification requested.
