  • Facebook requires individuals to be at least 13 years old before they can create an account. In some jurisdictions, the age limit may be higher. Providing false information to create an account is always a violation of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. This includes accounts registered on the behalf of under 13 year old children by older parties.

    If your underage child (child under the age of 13) has created an account on Facebook, you can show them how to delete their account by having them log into their account and following this link.

    If you would like to report an account registered for an underage child to us We will promptly delete the account of any child under the age of 13 that is reported to us through this form. http://www.facebook.com/help/?ref=drop#!/help/contact.php?show_form=underage
