You can change your birth date on Roblox, but only once every three months, and only through your account settings

Roblox stores your birth date to determine what content you can see and what features you can use. If you entered the wrong date when you created your account, or if you want to update it, you go to your account settings and change it in the "About" section. The change takes effect when ready, but Roblox limits you to one change per three months — so if you change it today, you cannot change it again until three months have passed.

The process takes less than two minutes. You do not need to contact Roblox support or provide proof of your age. However, if your account is under 13 according to Roblox records, some features remain locked no matter what birth date you set — those restrictions are built into the account type itself, not just the date field.

Key Takeaways

  • Go to your account settings, select "About", and change your birth date in the date field — no verification required.
  • You can only change your birth date once every three months, so choose carefully before you save.
  • Changing your birth date does not unlock features if your account was created as an under-13 account; those restrictions are permanent unless you contact Roblox support.
  • Your birth date controls what games, items, and social features you can access based on Roblox's content rating system.

How to access your account settings on desktop

Open Roblox in your web browser and log in to your account. In the top right corner, click the gear icon or your username — either one opens a dropdown menu. Select "Settings" from that menu.

You are now in your account settings page. On the left side, you will see a list of options. Click "About" — it is usually near the top of the list. This page shows your birth date, username, and other account information.

How to access your account settings on mobile

Open the Roblox app and log in. Tap the three horizontal lines (the menu icon) in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and tap "Settings".

In Settings, tap "Account". Then tap "About" to see your birth date and other account details. The layout is the same as desktop, just arranged for a smaller screen.

Changing your birth date

On the "About" page, find the field labeled "Date of Birth" or "Birthday". Click or tap on it to open a date picker. Select your month, day, and year. Some versions of Roblox show three separate fields (month, day, year) instead of a calendar picker — if so, enter each part separately.

Once you have entered the new date, look for a "Save" or "Confirm" button near the bottom of the page. Click it. Roblox will save the change when ready, and you will see a confirmation message. Your new birth date is now active on your account.

What happens when you change your age

If you change your birth date to make yourself older, Roblox may unlock new games, items, and social features that were previously blocked. For example, some games are marked for ages 13+ or 17+ and will not appear in your search results or recommendations if your account shows you as younger. Changing your date to 13 or older removes that restriction.

If you change your birth date to make yourself younger, Roblox will restrict your account again. You will lose access to games and items rated for older players, and some social features like private messaging may be turned off.

These changes happen when ready — you do not need to log out and back in. If you are already in a game when you change your birth date, you may need to leave and rejoin for the new restrictions to take effect.

The three-month waiting period

After you change your birth date, Roblox prevents you from changing it again for three months. This is a hard limit — there is no way around it, even if you contact Roblox support. If you try to change it before three months have passed, you will see a message saying "You can next change your birthdate on [date]".

Because of this limit, double-check your birth date before you save. If you make a mistake, you will have to wait three months to fix it. Write down the date you changed it so you know when you can change it again.

If your account is under 13

Roblox accounts created for users under 13 have permanent restrictions that changing your birth date cannot remove. These accounts cannot use private messaging, cannot trade items, and cannot join certain games — even if you change your birth date to say you are 18. These restrictions exist because of laws that protect children online, and they are tied to the account itself, not just the birth date field.

If you created your account as an under-13 account and now want to unlock these features, you must contact Roblox support directly. They may ask you to verify your age with a government ID or other proof. This process is separate from changing your birth date and can take several days.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common mistake is changing your birth date and then when ready trying to change it again because you made a typo. Remember: you cannot change it for three months after you save. Before you click save, read the date back to yourself out loud to catch any errors.

Another mistake is assuming that changing your birth date will unlock all features on an under-13 account. It will not. If you need those features, you have to go through the age verification process with Roblox support, which requires proof of your actual age.

Do not change your birth date just to access a specific game or item. Roblox age ratings exist for a reason — games marked 17+ may contain violence or other content not appropriate for younger players. If a game is restricted for your age, that is intentional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my birth date more than once?

Yes, but only once every three months. After you change it, Roblox locks that field for 90 days. You will see the exact date you can change it again in your account settings.

What if I forgot my birth date and cannot remember what I entered?

Go to your "About" page in settings — your current birth date is displayed there. If you need to change it, you can do so when ready, but remember you will have to wait three months before changing it again.

Will changing my age let me trade items if my account is under 13?

No. Trading, private messaging, and other social features are locked on under-13 accounts regardless of what birth date you set. You must contact Roblox support and verify your actual age to unlock these features.

Does Roblox verify the birth date I enter?

No. When you change your birth date in settings, Roblox does not ask for proof or verification. However, if you try to unlock under-13 restrictions, Roblox will ask for government ID or other documentation to confirm your age.

What happens if I change my birth date while I am in a game?

The change saves when ready, but the game may not reflect it until you leave and rejoin. If a game is now restricted for your new age, you will be kicked out when you try to play it again.
