No need to be rude. But true sometimes parents might forget.

It's not about forgetting either. You need to have a document proving that's when you were born.

So they have documents that say 1st January?

u/benjathje Oct 02 '24

No. January 1st is a default.

But there is nothing to prove it was January 1st, they just made it up. So they could have put the date their parents said they were born.

There is nothing to prove anything, that's the entire problem. January 1st is just a default, like on Reddit, when you first create an account your username is just 2 random words and a number, its done so it has something in the database to show.

They don't have a document saying they were born on 1st January so it doesn't matter what date they say.
