Hi there,
That's a good questions :)
We only use your DoB to verify if you qualify for a child ticket. There's no other reason it's there and not used for anything else.
So Feel free to use a different date.
Hope your mom will have a good time going around Japan, and thank you for using the JR Pass.
Kind regards,
Daniel
