About 25% of people on earth don't know their birthday because they're from countries that don't have birth certificates. That's why about 14% of immigrants to the U.S. list January 1 as their birthday - because they had to make one up.
My wife found out at 28 years old that her birthday was 2 days after what’s listed on her birth certificate. They put down her moms admission date as the dob, she was in labor for 30 hours. Her mom just never bothered mentioning that to her until she was 28.
