If my child set an Apple ID but used an older age, is it possible for me to change his account to his real age which is 11. It means account would go from adult to child . Or do I hav to create a whole new Apple id

Can I change my child’s age on his Apple ID account or do I have to create a whole new one? He is 11 and his bday he uses says he’s 45

I am not sure what happens when you change the age to a child's age. I think you may then get a notice saying the child has to become part of a Family Sharing group with an adult as the Organizer. It may all be one smooth process or you may have to set up Family Sharing first. I'd just give it a try and see how it works.
