Hello!


Go to https://account.apple.com, log in with your child’s Apple account, and click the arrow pointing down near the top right. This will open a drop-down menu. Click on “Personal information” and then “Birthday.” Change the birthday to the correct one. A pop-up will show that parental consent is required.


After sending the notification, go to the email under your Apple account. If you have a Gmail account, go to Gmail, etc. Click “Review request.” This will take you to the same page https://account.apple.com. Sign in with your Apple account. A pop-up should show a code on your Apple devices. Get this code and paste it into the verification code on the website after you log in.


Hope this helps!

Read this support article about how to update the birth date associated with an Apple Account: Update the birthday associated with an Apple Account - Apple Support

There's different requirements and possibilities to change the age on an account depending upon the age of the person, their target age, and the country's age definition of "child".


If you are trying to change the age from a child to an adult status, Apple has completely removed mention of that from the support article. At best you will need to contact Apple and ask if they will do this for you. They used to but they have recently removed mention of even that.


Refer to this page for Apple Support features ➔ Contact - Official Apple Support

Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page under “Get more help” (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.


This support article has various country telephone numbers for contacting Apple for support and service ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support For some countries look under “Other” listing at the end of the list. Not every country has telephone support, and phone numbers may only work when calling from the same country.
