Is your Discord app experience tainted by your inability to join certain communities of your choice? New features and the wrong age information linked in your Discord account can lock you out of certain NSFW servers of your interest. This process is tricky but I will walk you through it.
If a Discord user does not input the correct age information in the registration process when setting up their discord account, then changing it becomes even more difficult. Discord users cannot manually change their profile age information. Instead, you will have to submit a request to the discord team and complete the below steps:
- You need to contact Discord by accessing the “submit a request” form in the user settings
- Other required material will include the discord user’s email address and the details that need to be changed
- Discord users will also have to mark the request as a “trust and safety” issue and “age update” when they submit a request
The Discord team will manually verify your age and update your Discord user age.
Since this process is rather tedious, it is important to enter the correct Discord account age with the actual date mentioned on the birth certificate when inputting personal information.
The procedure for changing your age on your Discord account is quite complex and users tend to make mistakes that hamper the success of the procedure. Similarly, you can change Discord sounds as well, which is also not as straightforward as you might have thought.
I will highlight common problems faced by users and suggest ways to avoid them as well.
Changing your Age (Birthdate) on Discord
Like other social media platforms and even governments, Discord’s TOS establishes a strict policy that ensures that users under 18 are unable to access certain adult communities for safety reasons.
The Discord server may lock your account if you are under the age of 18 but still try to access NSFW servers. This can also occur if a third-party user files an underage report against you for violating the terms and conditions of the server by accessing adult content.
In either case, you cannot use your Discord account once your account is locked. Then the only option is to verify your age information through the age verification procedures and raise an appeal by submitting a report to the server owners to unlock your account.
If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 and you find yourself locked out of a certain community because of discord’s TOS violation or underage report then you will opt for “age update” which will not require you to create a new account.
Follow the straightforward steps as a direct response to change your age on your account:
- Required materials include valid photo ID proof with personal information like date of birth
- Compose your full discord tag with your username and the last 4 digits in hard copy
- Hold your photo ID and complete discord tag discord in your hand
- Take a picture of yourself as shown
- After snapping your picture, visit this link to submit a request to change your age on Discord
- Select “trust and safety” under the “what can we help you with?” heading
- Input your email address
- Under the dropdown box of the “How can we help?” heading, you will see multiple options and select “appeals, age update, other questions”
- Another dropdown box menu will appear with the heading of ” appeals, age update, or other questions” with multiple options
- Select the “update my age information” option
- Enter your true date of birth under “your date of birth” heading
- Click the checkbox under “please confirm that you have attached the required materials” for confirmation
- Input appropriate subject
- Add a short description with the relevant information
- Select the “Add file” option under the attachments section
- Upload your picture from step 4
- Click on the “submit” button
- Enter a CAPTCHA code if prompted
If you have followed the above steps as stated then Discord will verify your information. After verification is complete, the Discord owner’s direct response will enable you to access the servers you were previously locked out of.
Changing Age on Discord without ID
It is vital to note that the above-mentioned procedure is ONLY applicable if you had initially submitted an accurate age on Discord when creating your account. If not, you will not be able to apply the age verification procedure to change your age in order to access adult content.
Your only alternative would be to create a new account. That way you can change your age. But, you will need a secondary email address. Once you’ve created a new account and set your age, you’ll be able to access age-restricted servers and channels.
Problems when Changing Age on Discord
You must make sure that your photo ID and full discord tag are collectively visible picture your picture. Otherwise, age verification procedures will be ineffective and you will be blocked from all age-inappropriate content on other Discord servers.
In case you are worried about your personal and sensitive information being misplaced, I will put your concerns to rest. This information will be in safe hands as the Discord server owners will only use the personal information for age verification and nothing else.
