How to Change Your Age on Roblox: Settings, ID, Parents
To change your age on Roblox, open Settings, select Account Info, click the pencil next to your birthday and enter the correct date; depending on the change Roblox may require ID verification (13 and older) or parental consent before it applies. A linked parent can change a child’s birthday once from Parental Controls, but not if the child has already verified age with a government ID. An age-checked 18+ status can be reset once per account, and a self-reported 13+ user estimated as under 13 gets a 48-hour grace period before the update is final.

Roblox requires a minimum age of five to create an account and says the birthday must reflect your real age because it gates features such as voice chat and controls content filtering. Which verification step follows depends on the size and direction of the change:
| Change | What Roblox may require |
|---|---|
| Small correction within the same age group | Usually applies after the prompts |
| Moving into an older group, e.g. under 13 to 19 | ID verification with a passport, driver’s licence or other government ID (13 and older) |
| Changes that affect a minor’s settings | Parental consent through a linked parent account |
| Some regions | Additional legal requirements for age updates |
Parents: changing a child’s age
- Link your own Roblox account to the child’s account first; our parental controls guide covers linking.
- Log in to the parent account → Settings → Parental Controls tab.
- If several children are linked, select the account to update.
- Click the pencil next to the child’s avatar, then the arrow next to their birthday, and edit it.
Three restrictions apply, in Roblox’s words: linked parents can update a child’s birthday only once; if the child already verified age with a government ID the birthday cannot be changed through Parental Controls; and if the arrow is not shown you cannot set that child’s birthday at all. Some regions add legal requirements.
Age checks and undoing them
| Method | How it works |
|---|---|
| Facial Age Estimation | Take a photo to receive age-checked status; regional limits and parental consent may apply |
| ID Verification | Users 13 and older verify with a passport, driver’s licence or other government ID |
| Undo an 18+ age-checked status | Settings → Account Info → Reset under your birthday and age group → Continue. Works once per account, for both estimation and ID results |
| Estimated under 13 after self-reporting 13+ | 48-hour grace period before the update is final; Accept Now under Birthday applies it immediately and restores feature access |
Age-checked status is what unlocks features such as voice chat; the different verification tiers are compared in Roblox verification levels.
Symptom, cause, action
| Symptom | Likely cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Pencil icon missing next to birthday | Account is managed by a linked parent, or age was fixed by ID verification | Parent edits from Parental Controls (once); ID-verified ages cannot be changed there |
| Asked for an ID after editing | The change moves you into an older age group | Verify with a government ID (13+) or leave the birthday as is |
| Parent cannot change birthday a second time | One-time limit for linked parents | Contact Roblox Support with the details |
| Features vanished after an age check | Estimated age placed you in a younger group | 48-hour grace period; Accept Now applies the result at once; the status can be reset once |
| No birthday option for a young child | Roblox does not offer birthdays under five | Accounts require a minimum age of five |
| Age correct but voice chat still locked | Voice chat needs an age check, not just a birthday | Complete Facial Age Estimation or ID verification |
