Birth Date generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Birth Date generator creates random dates of birth, usually in a format as YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY, or DD/MM/YYYY depending on locale requirements. It ensures the dates align with practical human age ranges, often configurable to match specific use cases such as generating dates for adults, children, or historical records.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
Birth Date	fill with dates of birth for different age groups, e.g. for retired persons, adults, teenagers, etc.	datetimestamp	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name starts with ‘Birth’ and ends with ‘Date’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
The column name starts with ‘Date’ and ends with ‘Birth’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
The column name is ‘DOB’, ‘bdate’, or ‘bday’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The dates of birth are grouped by Retired, Adults (default option), Students, Teenagers, and Custom. The tool allows you to include or exclude a specific group of dates of birth from the generated data by selecting or clearing the required checkboxes.
