How to Change Your Age on Discord
There are thousands of new communities and Discord servers to discover in this social platform.
Discord users can find pretty much whatever they want: video game servers, sports communities, and, of course, NSFW servers.
Some server owners understand the importance of knowing a Discord user’s age in order to allow them to participate on a specific server.
That’s why it is crucial for the platform to set a minimum age requirement to access NSFW servers and communities where adult content is the common rule.
Nonetheless, there might be other reasons why you want to know how to change your age on Discord. That’s why this blog post contains valuable information about:

- How to correctly set your date of birth in the blink of an eye.
Why Can’t You Easily Change the Age on Your Discord account?
The Discord staff understands what’s happening with inappropriate content on their platform.
Even though they don’t perform age verification procedures whenever a new account gets created, it’s important for the company to have greater control over NSFW channels.
Age restriction is a very important parameter so “ Not Safe For Work” Discord servers can reach a mature audience and not young users.
In fact, controlling NSFW content is a direct response to agencies, users, and even governments’ criticism of the poor moderation rules of some social media platforms.
How to Change Your Age Information on Discord
So, how does a Discord user change his age on Discord?
Well, in practice, the only option users have to manually change their age is to contact the Discord team and ask them to change their date of birth.
Method 1: Contact Discord Support
In order to change your age, you need to contact Discord support by clicking on this link. Then, follow the below steps.
Step 1: Submit a Request
Once you are there, find the “Appeals, Age Update and other Questions” option:
Step 2: Fill the Request Form With Your Personal Information (Discord Tag, Email Address, and More)
You need to provide your full Discord tag, as well as your account information on Discord so they accept the request.
Don’t forget to select the “Age Update” option in your account.
You also need to write a short subject explaining your problem to them.
Note: Discord will only change your Discord Birthday if you entered a wrong date of birth the moment you registered.
Step 3: Provide a Copy of a Photo ID
So, how can Discord be sure that you are not an underage user lying to them? Well, they will ask you for one of the following documents:
- Birth certificate;
- Photo ID;
- Driver license or Passport.
Click on “Add file” and attach the required materials before sending the age update request.
Method 2: Create a New Discord Account with a Different Date of Birth
Maybe you don’t want to submit a photo id, or perhaps you don’t have the necessary requirements to prove your date of birth to Discord.
In that case, there’s a last resort option for you: create a new account.
Step 1: Go to Discord’s Homepage
Go to Discord.com and start the registration process. Remember that you must provide a new Discord tag and set the new age you want to have.
Step 2: Register With a Secondary Email Address
This is utterly important: you need to create the new account using a secondary email, not your main one.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to correctly set up the account with the date of birth you wish you have.
That’s all you need to know about changing your age on Discord.
