Home / Suspended for age

Instagram suspended my account saying I might be under 13.

Use the appeal on the notice and confirm your age with a video selfie or ID, which is what Instagram asks for. If you’re actually over 13, these suspensions are often lifted once the age check goes through.

Short answer

Age suspensions usually come from a report, a birthday entered wrong years ago, or an automated guess from your photos. Instagram wants proof you meet the minimum age.

How to verify your age

  1. Open the app and tap the option to confirm or disagree on the notice.
  2. Choose the video selfie if offered. It’s often the quickest way.
  3. Or upload ID with your date of birth. Make sure it’s clear and in date.
  4. Submit once and wait for the email.

QUICK ANSWERS

Good to know.

Why does Instagram think I’m under 13?

Usually a report, an old wrong birthday, or an automated guess.

Is the video selfie safe?

It goes through Instagram’s own age check. Don’t send selfies or ID to strangers in DMs.

How long do I have?

The notice shows the deadline, often 180 days. Don’t wait.

Do you help accounts of under-13s?

No. The account holder must meet Instagram’s age rules.

How much does Unbanz charge?

It depends on the account and the issue. You get the price in the chat before any work starts, and nothing is charged for asking. Pricing details: https://unbanz.com/pricing/
