When you set up an IMVU account, you are required to verify that you're 18 years old or the parent or guardian of a user who is at least 13 years old. If you discover after set-up that you clicked the wrong month, date or year on the "Date of Birth" drop-down menus, IMVU allows you to change the age. Simply submit an age verification request in the IMVU Help Center with proof of age documentation -- driver's license, passport or other government-approved official documentation that shows your name and correct age.

Scan or upload proof of age documentation to your computer and then log in to the IMVU account.

Select the "Help" link to the left of the "Account" link on the upper right links bar.

Click the "Request Support" tab in the IMVU Help Center and then click the word "here" in the sentence "To submit a support case, click here."
