Discord does not allow users to change their birth date once entered during account creation. This date is permanently associated with your account for age verification and safety compliance. Attempting to bypass this is against Discord's Terms of Service.
Only Official Method: Create a New Account
Since direct modification isn't possible, the sole reliable method to update your displayed age is:
- Create a New Discord Account: Visit the Discord website or download the app.
- Enter Correct Birthday: During sign-up, carefully input your accurate birth date. Verify the details before proceeding.
- Transfer Essential Data (If Needed): Manually re-add friends, re-join servers, and reconfigure privacy settings on the new account. Note that chat history, roles, and server permissions cannot be transferred.
Understanding Age Verification (If Applicable)
If you previously failed an age verification prompt on a server, the solution remains creating a new account with the correct birth date. Servers requiring age verification check the birth date registered to your Discord account; this underlying date cannot be altered on your existing account.
Important Considerations
- Permanent Lock: Your birth date is immutable on an existing account. Third-party tools or methods claiming to change it are scams or security risks.
- Policy Compliance: Entering a false birth date initially or on a new account violates Discord's Terms of Service.
- Data Loss: Switching accounts means losing messages, roles, and some configurations tied to the old account.
Conclusion: Account deletion and recreation with the accurate birth date is the only supported and safe way to update your age information on Discord. Ensure you choose the correct date during new account setup.
