For official documents like passport, Aadhaar, or exams, age is calculated as of a specific reference date. For example, for UPSC, age is calculated as of January 1st of the exam year. Use that date as the target date.

If you were born on February 29, your birthday in non-leap years is typically considered as February 28 or March 1, depending on legal jurisdiction. The calculator handles this correctly.
