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, Birth Date, 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 birth year (age) is displayed on IMDb and IMDbPro via your IMDbPro name page. 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 name page at the time of their subscription. 
  2. Once you’ve claimed your page, or verified that your page is claimed, you can add, edit or manage your personal and demographic data, and your preferred display settings from the About tab on your IMDbPro name page. Your display settings determine whether this data appears 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 birth year (age), your name will not appear in search results for that birth year. However, you’ll still appear in searches for the month and day (MM/DD) of your birth date. You’ll also still appear in the Born Today feature.
