Can’t access certain communities on Discord as they say you don’t meet the age requirement? If you made a mistake entering your birthday while creating your account, you may request Discord to change your age. It’s an easy process on your end, and we’ll show you how to do that.
Request Discord to Change Your Birthday
Unlike many other apps, Discord doesn’t allow you tochange your agefrom its web, desktop, or mobile app. You have to send the platform a request with a valid identity card to change your birthday inyour account.
First, you have to take a photo of yourself with the documents proving your identity and your Discord account. To do that, on a piece of paper, writeyour full Discord tag(including, if you haven’t updated tothe new username scheme, the four digits after your username). Then, hold this paper and a valid identity card in your hands andtake your photo.
Once you have a clear photo ready, launch a web browser on your device and open theDiscord Supportsite. On this site, you’ll see a form to fill in. Here, enter the following details:
After filling out the form, at the bottom of the form, click “Submit.”
Your age update request is now sent to Discord. The company will review your submitted details, and if everything looks good, they’llupdate the age in your account.
What Is Discord’s Age Requirement?
When it comes to using Discord, you must be of a certain age to be able to use the platform. In most countries, including the USA, the UK, Canada, and Australia, you must be at least 13 years old to use Discord. If you live in another country, check outDiscord’s age requirementspage to find relevant information for your region.
Even if you’re 13 years old, you can’t access certaincommunities on Discord. This is because these communities are marked asNSFW (Not Safe for Work), and you must be at least 18 years old to be able to access these communities.
With a valid identity card proving your real age, you shouldn’t have issues getting your age corrected in your Discord account. And once that’s done, you’ll have access to all the items that Discord deems suitable for you on the platform. Enjoy!
