How do I remove my age / birthyear?



Access to these features require either an IMDbPro Premium Subscription or an IMDbPro Basic Subscription. Learn more on the IMDbPro Subscription comparison page.



IMDbPro Premium Subscription and IMDbPro Basic Subscription members (see Which IMDbPro Subscription is right for me?) can self-identify and manage the display of their Gender/Gender Identity, Pronouns, Sexual Orientation, Birthdate, Race/Ethnicity, Nationality/Religious or Ethnic Identity, and Disability, which will display in the "Personal Details" section of their IMDb and IMDbPro name page. See Manage your personal details for more information.

You’re able to manage whether your birthyear (age) is displayed on IMDb and IMDbPro through the Control My Details feature in IMDbPro. The feature is available to both IMDbPro Premium Subscription and IMDbPro Basic Subscription members with a claimed name page.

  1. If you haven't yet done so, the first step is to Claim your page. IMDbPro Basic Subscription members are asked to claim their page at the time of their subscription. 
  2. Once you’ve claimed your page, or verified that your page is claimed, you can use the Control My Details feature of your IMDbPro membership to manage the display of your age / birthyear, as well as other personal and demographic data, and whether they appear on your IMDbPro and IMDb name page (i.e. the page which appears when searching for your name on IMDb or IMDb Pro, or when clicking on your name in a credits listing on either IMDb or IMDbPro).
  3. Next to Birth year (age), you can select from the following options:
    • Do not display
    • On IMDbPro only
    • On IMDb and IMDbPro

If you choose not to display your birthyear (age), your name will not appear in search results for that birthyear. However, you’ll still appear in searches for the month and day (MM/DD) of your birthdate. You’ll also still appear in the Born Today feature.
