You may wonder why it is so difficult to change your Discord age. Well, several policies and guidelines are in place on the platform to protect young users and offer a safe environment for all community members. These considerations make changing your age on Discord a challenging endeavor.
Having figured out why this happens, let’s explore the factors you should consider before changing your Discord age.
Things to Know Before Changing Your Age on Discord
If you entered the wrong age or birthdate when you created your Discord account, you may want to change it to access certain features or content. However, changing your age on Discord is more complex than editing your profile settings. You must contact the Discord support team and provide proof of your age.
Here are some things to consider before changing your age on Discord:
1. Discord’s ‘Terms of Service’ clearly state that users must be at least 13 years old to use the platform. Falsifying your age to appear older or younger than you are can lead to account suspension or termination if discovered.
2. Discord allows users to control their privacy settings, including who can see their age. Before changing your age, consider the implications of sharing this information with others and adjust your privacy settings accordingly.
3. Discord has community guidelines to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all users. While changing your displayed age might seem harmless, it’s essential to abide by these guidelines and avoid misleading information that could disrupt the community or violate the terms of service.
Knowing and adhering to the platform’s ‘Terms of Service’ and guidelines ensures a positive and respectful online experience. With that in mind, let’s begin with the steps.
Note: You can execute the below methods using any device or operating system. However, for demonstration purposes, we are going with Mac.

By changing your birthday, Discord will change your age as well. All you need to do is submit an age update request. However, before you go ahead, there are a few things you need to have;

- You will also be required to write down your Discord username on paper and get a picture clicked while you hold your Discord username and photo ID separately. Your Discord name should look something like this: user#0808.
- Ensure that the details on the paper and ID are visible on the photo.
With that said, let’s begin with the steps.
