Changes to Personal Details in Your Indeed Resume
From 8 April 2026, Indeed no longer includes some sensitive personal details in Indeed Resumes. These details are no longer needed for how Indeed Resume works. This update does not apply to resume files uploaded to your profile.

- ID (identification) number
- Date of Birth
- Gender
These fields no longer appear when creating or updating your resume.
