How to Change Your Age on Roblox

You are likely hitting age-restricted games or missing features like voice chat because your Roblox account is set to the wrong birthday. If you made a mistake at signup, Roblox makes it frustrating to correct, often forcing you into a strict ID verification process that only happens once.

Why this happens

Your account is assigned to an age bracket based on the birth date entered at signup. Roblox tightly restricts changing this to prevent users from bypassing age-gated safety features.

Before you change

Verify your date of birth twice before clicking save, as Roblox limits ID verification or parental changes to a one-time process. If you are under 18, ensure you have access to your linked parent account to approve the change.

Steps

1. 01
   Log into your account and open Settings by clicking the gear icon on a computer or the three dots icon on mobile.
2. 02
   Navigate to the Account Info tab to view your current profile details.
3. 03
   Click the pencil icon located next to the Birthday field to begin the update.
4. 04
   Enter your correct date of birth and follow any on-screen prompts for ID or facial verification if they appear.
5. 05
   Check for your new age group label appearing directly next to the Birthday field to confirm the system has successfully updated your account status.

Still not working?

If you are under 18 and the parent-linked account does not receive the approval request, check your parent account's email inbox for a pending authorization link. If you have already used your single allowed ID verification attempt and the date remains incorrect, you will need to contact Roblox Support directly, though they are often unable to manually override age restrictions due to strict compliance laws.

Frequently asked questions

Will changing my age reset my account data?

No, updating your birthday only changes your age bracket within the system and does not affect your inventory, Robux, or saved game progress.

Why does Roblox require an ID or face check?

Roblox uses these checks to comply with safety laws and verify that the person changing the age is the actual account owner or a verified parent.

Does this fix immediately unlock voice chat?

Yes, once your account is successfully moved into the 13+ or 17+ age bracket, you will see the option to enable voice chat in your Privacy settings.
