Anyone can create an account on TikTok<\/a>, without verifying their age. However, if you want to change your age or birthday in the app, that\u2019s a different matter. TikTok\u2019s official stance is that you must be aged 13 or older to create an account, as some content on the app isn\u2019t suitable for younger children and has been the subject of controversy after trending challenges have led to teenagers injuring themselves or others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, if you want to change your age on TikTok, you\u2019ll need to prove that you\u2019re the age you\u2019re claiming. We\u2019ll show you how to change your age on TikTok if you entered it incorrectly when you set up your account. <\/p>\n\n\n

        It may take a few days to receive a response from customer support.

You\u2019ll need to provide this for customer support to update your birthday and age on TikTok.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What if TikTok Support Won\u2019t Update My Date of Birth?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Unfortunately, if you can\u2019t provide a valid ID, your birthday and age will not be updated. If TikTok customer support refuses to change your birthday or age, you can always delete your account and create a new one with the correct birthday.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
