This will allow the network to verify your age. If you want to go ahead with this, you\u2019ll have to submit a request to Discord.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>The first step is to go to the <strong>Submit a Request<\/strong> option. You\u2019ll see a drop-down menu.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the menu, select <strong>Trust &amp; Safety<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your email and discord tag and go to the <strong>How Can We Help<\/strong> option.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the drop-down menu, select <strong>Appeals, Age Update, and Other Questions<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under this header, select <strong>Update My Age Information<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under your <strong>Date of Birth<\/strong>, type and enter your birthday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a picture of yourself holding your valid photo identification with a full discord tag and upload it by clicking on <strong>Add File<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After you attach your ID in the attachments option, ensure that you click the checkbox under <strong>Please Confirm That You Have Attached the Required Materials<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill in the description box with your issue and why you want to change your age, along with a subject line in the description box. For example, I wanted to change my age because I had entered the wrong date of birth originally. Try to explain in detail and make your input\/subject line compelling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lastly, scroll down and click on the <strong>Submit <\/strong>button at the bottom to confirm and send your request.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the request has been submitted, the customer support team will review it and work with you to change your age on the app after some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_Age_on_Discord_Without_an_ID\"><\/span>Changing Age on Discord (Without an ID)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It's not possible to change your age information or birthday on Discord without an ID. Discord requires users to provide a valid date of birth when creating an account. This information is verified using a government-issued ID.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to age update on the app without an ID and access age-restricted servers, you\u2019ll have to create a new discord account with a fresh discord username.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to register with a secondary email address to change your age and create a new account on the network. By creating a new Discord app account and setting your new age to 18 or above, you will be able to access servers and channels that are restricted to specific age groups.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Woman-Working-with-a-Laptop-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman Working with a Laptop\" class=\"wp-image-4113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Woman-Working-with-a-Laptop-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Woman-Working-with-a-Laptop-1-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_It_Hard_to_Change_Your_Age_on_Discord\"><\/span>Why is It Hard to Change Your Age on Discord?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discord takes the safety and security of users seriously, and they have a number of measures in place to help ensure the safety of its users. These measures include user verification, content moderation, automated protections, and a dedicated Trust &amp; Safety team. Discord also has a Code of Conduct and Terms of Service that all users must adhere to. They actively enforce these rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your age on Discord can be difficult because the platform uses your age to enforce its terms. This prohibits children under the age of 13 from using it. To protect young users, Discord requires you to provide your age or date of birth when you sign up for an account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to change your age on Discord, you will need to provide proof of your age in the form of a government-issued ID. This is to ensure that no one under the age of 13 is using the platform. This verification process can be difficult and time-consuming, but it is necessary to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other age restriction regulations designed to protect children's online privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, once the age is set on an account it's not changeable by the user. It can only done by the Discord moderation team via support tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It's also essential to note that Discord's terms of service prohibit lying about your age. It's against the rules to falsify information about your age on the platform. So, it's important to provide accurate information and be prepared to verify it if prompted by the Discord app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, it's hard to change your age on Discord because the platform wants to ensure that it's in compliance with laws and regulations designed to protect children's online privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more resources<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span>The Bottom Line&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your age on Discord is by no means a straightforward process. The platform doesn\u2019t allow you to change your age or actual date of birth effortlessly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the process with the photo ID mentioned above may seem lengthy, the best bet is to change your age or year of birth on Discord. Plus, it is safe. However, if you don\u2019t have an ID, you\u2019ll have to join with a new Discord account and birth date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unable to change your date of birth on Discord?
