People born on Leap Day, do you celebrate your birthday on February 28th, February 29th, or March 1st? (lemmy.ml)

Also, how would that work on things like birth certificates?

Related question is when does the government celebrate your birthday. Sure, you can go apply for your drivers license on your 16th birthday on February 29, but your 18th and 21st birthdays aren’t on leap years. When can you get your first legal drink? (I’m assuming March 1st, as the bars don’t want to risk serving you a day early.)

Idk about other governments but the US seems to be "after the 28th", so you can drink on March 1st

I think it’s the going solution pretty much everywhere.
