TikTok account age checker

Creation date of any TikTok account from its user ID.

Quick answer

TikTok user IDs hold their creation time. Shift the 19-digit ID right by 32 bits and you get a Unix timestamp: the moment the account was made.

Start from an example:

Account

The 19-digit numeric ID, not the @handle. In a browser, open the profile, view the page source and search for "id":" next to the uniqueId.

Decoded offline from the ID; nothing is sent to TikTok. Age counted to Nov 5, 2026. Very old musical.ly IDs carry no date.

How the creation date is found

  • The ID holds the time

    created (Unix seconds) = user ID >> 32

    TikTok uses the same ID scheme for users, videos and sounds. The top 32 bits of the 64-bit ID are the creation time in seconds.

  • Find the user ID

    The handle can change; the numeric ID does not. Open the profile in a browser, view the source and look for the "id" field near "uniqueId". Do not use the secUid that starts with MS4w.

  • Read the result

    The date shows in UTC and five cities, plus the account age. Use it to judge giveaways, collab requests or old-looking accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see when a TikTok account was created?

The app does not show it, but the numeric user ID holds the creation time. Paste it here to decode it.

Can I use the @username?

No. Handles can change and hold no date. You need the numeric user ID from the profile page source.

Why does my ID say old-style?

Accounts from the early musical.ly days have short IDs that do not include a timestamp.

Is the date exact?

It is the time the ID was issued, which is when the account was registered, to the second.
