Rejected petition Reduce legal ages by 2 years so our ages are the same as before Covid-19
I would like all legal ages to be reduced by 2 years so citizens are the same age as before Covid-19. We have lost 2 years of our lives due to lockdowns and therefore they should not count towards our age.
More details
Legally allow us to change our ages back on personal identification records such as driving license, passport, etc.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The Government is not responsible for how old people are. A person's age is determined by the length of time that has passed since their birth.
The Government is responsible for the age at which people have certain rights, obligations and entitlements, and we could accept a petition calling for changes to these.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
