Hi,

If the birth date on a Microsoft account says that it belongs to a child, there are different steps to take in regions such as the United States of America and the Republic of Korea, and other regions that regulate what children can do online. Here is what
to do when you are a parent trying to change your child's birth date:

• Using the parent's Microsoft account, sign in to your
  Family page on the Microsoft account website.
• Select Manage my child's profile info.
• For the child’s account that you want to change, select Edit this child's personal info and then follow the instructions.

For additional help, you may find the instructions to this question by following the links below:

• Change the birthdate on your Microsoft account
• Age verification for parental consent

I need to change the birth date of a child account

Hello! My name is Mustafa, and I am an Independent Advisor as well as a long-time Microsoft user. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue, and I am hopeful that I will be able to help you find a satisfactory solution.

Please refer to this thread on how to change your child's date of birth:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

If you get the same error as the person then it means that you are in one of the countries that require an adult for their consent, just follow the given links and steps and you should be able to change your child's date of birth.

And if everything doesn't work you can create a new account with the correct date of birth.

Please let me know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

How to change birth date on microsoft accounts

Hi ，ivanagrgic bozic



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



If your account age is set to 2014, then your account age must be underage.

At this point your account is defined as a children's account under the legal age.

Children's Accounts Under Legal Age Only a parent or other adult with authority to manage the child's account can update the date of birth of a child's account under the legal age.

If your account is in a family group, the date of birth can be changed through the family manager.

Sign in to your account at family.microsoft.com with your Microsoft adult account.



Scroll to the bottom of the Your Family page and select Manage My Child's Profile Information.



On the right side of the Manage Permissions page for the child account you want to change, select Edit this child's personal information and follow the instructions.

(I understand that you are an adult, but your account date of birth was changed to 2014, the system will recognize it as a child account)



You won't be able to change their date of birth without giving their account parental permission.

I hope this reply could address your question, or if you will have any question on it, please feel free to let me know.

Have a nice day.



Best Regards,
