My son turned 13 years old on the 26th. I’m trying to share an Apple card, but I can‘t add it. I get a message saying that I’m not yet old. My screen says I‘m 13 years old. My son’s iPhone also shows that he is 13 years old. How can I solve it.
You’ll both need to update you Apple ID Age. Please review and share the link to a support article with your son. I’ve also linked several additional support articles on sharing Apple Card Mastercard.

Region mu be set to US too
Change your Apple ID country or region - Apple Support
After correcting Apple ID age etc. you should force restart your iPhone.

Then read the second article and then the third and follow the steps in each article.
Sorry, but it doesn’t sound like you’re following my requests. Let’s try this again. You need to change the age of 13 to an adult age. Please follow these steps to change the age of your Apple ID to that of your legal age.

Is your son using your Apple ID or his own?
I went into the settings like you said, and both my son and I have the same settings.
We also have the same date of birth.
But I don't know why it won't add the Apple card.
It works for Apple Cash.
My son has his own ID.
Thank you.
My son and I are both on the latest IOS version. We are set to the United States. We both have the same birthday as well.
But I don't know the problem.
Yes, thank you for helping me.
I'll try to do what you said.
^^ Yes, I just figured out what I mean. Thanks to you, I solved the problem. ^^ Have a good day~
That is such great news! You’re welcome. Glad we could work together to solve your issue. I hope you and your son enjoy your Apple Card and have a good day as well.
I can't share the Apple Card family with my son.
