In the US it is illegal to ask for your birth date before you are hired.
In the UK and other parts of western EU, it is acceptable (perhaps the folks across the pond can weigh in on that.) That's why you'll often see somebody's birth date on their C.V. in the EU.
Beyond the standard HR paperwork, there isn't any reason anyone else you work with must know your birth date.- it's not illegal in the sense that it's criminal thoughmonospaced
