Incorrect DOB had to be entered at check-in.

I am flying to JFK tomorrow on BA and my friend has just done the online check-in.

She told me that the online check-in would not accept my DOB and would only accept the day before my birthday. She showed me a screenshot of my details she entered when the booking was made, which shows my correct DOB

The check-in process is complete and I have a boarding pass but Im concerned she had to enter incorrect details. Will there be issues at the airport? Im more concerned about coming home and check in wont be accepted.

Anyone else had this issue?

It's a known issue in the Trusted Travelers Program website. Perhaps it is the same flaw.

I clicked on the 'Update Documents' link on the right to make sure everything was up to date before applying for my GE renewal, and every single date on every document is off by one day! My date of birth on my passport and DL is one day earlier than the actual date. Similarly, the issuance and expiration dates on my passport, as well as the expiration date on my DL are off by a day (listed as being one day earlier, just like on my date of birth under both documents).

Anybody else run into this issue?

Welcome to FT!

Just go to the check-in counters and let the staff swipe the passport to get the correct data/info loaded. Not an issue.
