How to Change Your Age on Roblox (2026)

Roblox › Help Center › Accounts & Safety

To change your age or birthday on Roblox, open Settings, go to Account Info, and look for the Birthday field; if it is locked, you usually need to verify your age or contact Roblox Support. Roblox restricts birthday edits because age controls chat, content and safety features, and recent age-check systems can lock the date once it has been verified.

Changing your birthday on Roblox

Key facts at a glance

The birthday setting lives under Settings, then Account Info.
Users with a birthday under 13 may need a parent to make or approve changes.
Age checks, such as facial age estimation or ID verification, can lock the birthday once completed.
If the field is greyed out, Roblox Support is the route for corrections.
Entering a false age to unlock features breaks the rules and can cause an account to be restricted.

How do I change my birthday on Roblox?

Log in to your Roblox account in a browser or the app.
Open Settings from the gear icon.
Select Account Info.
Find the Birthday field and choose the correct month, day and year if it is editable.
Save the change and enter your password if asked.

If you cannot edit the field, Roblox probably locked it for safety reasons. Do not try to work around it, because that can trigger further restrictions.

Why can’t I change my age on Roblox?

Your birthday was already verified through an age check.
You changed it recently and the platform limits repeated edits.
The account is under parental controls and only a parent can approve changes.
The account is under moderation review.

Can a parent change a child’s age?

Parents with a linked account can help manage settings, and for very young players the parent’s involvement is typically required to change the birthday. If the date was entered wrongly at sign-up, a parent can contact Roblox Support with proof, which usually means showing they are the guardian of the account.

What is age verification on Roblox?

Roblox has rolled out age checks that estimate or confirm a user’s age group, using methods such as a short facial scan or government ID, depending on region. The result decides who a user can chat with and which features unlock. Roblox says the data is handled under its privacy rules, but you should read the current privacy notice and decide what you are comfortable sharing. Never send ID documents to anyone who contacts you by chat or email claiming to be Roblox.

Why does my age matter on Roblox?

Age determines chat access, content maturity, available features and parental controls. Younger accounts get filtered chat and stricter defaults, while older users see more content. Lying about age to access features meant for adults can expose a younger player to risks, which is why Roblox treats birthdays carefully.

How do I contact Roblox Support about a wrong age?

Open the Roblox support page and choose the option for account or birthday issues.
Describe the error and give your username and the correct date.
Be ready to prove identity or guardian status.
Check your email for replies and follow only links from official Roblox domains.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using a fake birthday to skip age checks or parental controls.
Paying anyone offering to change your age, since it is a scam.
Sending an ID or selfie through unofficial links.
Making new accounts to avoid restrictions, which breaks the rules.

Key terms explained

Age estimation: A tool that estimates an age range, often from a short face scan.
Age group: The category that sets chat and content rules.
Parental consent: Approval from a parent for settings that affect a younger child.

What changes when you are a teen or an adult?

Roblox sorts accounts into age groups, and moving between groups changes what you can do. A child account often has filtered chat, limited access to mature experiences and parent-controlled spending. A teen account gains more chat options and content access, while an adult account can use features reserved for verified users. Because each step changes safety defaults, Roblox prefers a verified age over a self-typed one.

What if I entered the wrong year by accident?

It is a common mistake, especially on a phone keyboard. If you notice quickly, edit the birthday immediately while the field is still open. If it is already locked, contact support and state that it was a typing error. Provide the correct date and, if asked, proof such as a guardian confirmation. Be patient, since age changes are reviewed carefully, and avoid opening duplicate tickets because that can slow the reply.

What should parents know about birthdays and privacy?

Parents should enter a child’s real birthday at sign-up because everything afterward depends on it. A younger real age keeps stricter protections on by default. Never help a child pretend to be older to reach chat or mature games. Instead, use the parental controls to loosen specific settings as the child grows up, which keeps the protections in place where they still matter.

Does changing your age affect Robux, items or friends?

A birthday change does not remove purchased items or Robux, but it can change which features you can use, such as chat with certain age groups or access to some experiences. Friend lists generally stay, though communication rules between age groups may apply afterward. If an account is restricted during review, you may be unable to trade or message until support finishes.
