Published in Legal Age 1 min read

Yes, in most places, a 19-year-old is considered an adult.

Here's a breakdown:

  • General Age of Majority: The age of majority, which is the age when a person is legally considered an adult, is 18 in most countries and in most states within the United States.

  • Legal Rights as an Adult (Typically at 18):

    • Voting
    • Entering into contracts
    • Purchasing alcohol (in most places with specific age laws)
    • Owning property
    • Serving on a jury
    • Bringing legal action
  • Exceptions: There are exceptions to this rule. For example, in Alabama, the age of majority is 19. This means that in Alabama, a 19-year-old attains full legal rights.

Therefore, unless you are specifically asking about Alabama, a 19-year-old is generally considered an adult.
