Date of birth input… best approach? [duplicate]

How do you write your date of birth?

The international standard recommends writing the date as year, then month, then the day: YYYY-MM-DD. So if both the Australian and American used this, they would both write the date as 2019-02-03.

What is the date of birth field?

What users commonly see in a birthdate field is “mm/dd/yyyy” or “dd/mm/yyyy.” Although it may be easy for some users to intuit that “mm” stands for month and “dd” stands for day, other users often get confused by this or they ignore it.
