Request to Correct Date of Birth on Apple ID

Hello,

I recently realized that the date of birth on my Apple ID is incorrect. When I initially set it up, I mistakenly entered my age as 15, but I am actually 19 years old.

I would like to update my date of birth to reflect my correct age. I have physical proof of my age, such as my passport, and I am happy to provide any necessary verification to complete this change.

Please let me know the steps I need to take to correct this. Thank you for your time and assistance.

iPhone 13, iOS 18
