Are you getting an “Unable to register” on Discord?
Here’s the second part of the error, “Based on the information you provided, we can’t create an account for you right now”.
The error message happens when you’re trying to create a Discord account.
It can happen on both desktop and mobile devices on the Discord app.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix “Unable to register based on the information you provided” on Discord.
Why can’t I register for Discord?
You can’t register for Discord because you’re under the age of 13.
According to Discord’s terms, you need to be at least 13 years old to access their app or website.
Their system will verify users that satisfy the minimum age requirement.
This is to keep users safe and make sure that children do not encounter inappropriate material.
When you’re creating a Discord account, you need to disclose your age under “Date of birth”.
In some countries, you may need to be older than 13 to use Discord.
For example, in Croatia, Germany, and Hungary, you need to be 16 years old or above.
Some Discord servers are age-restricted because they contain inappropriate content.
Although you can use the app, you won’t be able to access these servers if you’re under the age of 18.
If you’ve incorrectly set your birthday and you want to change it, you need to contact Discord support.
