In Argentina everyone has a national ID, that in particular is used to vote. Until ~1950 only the men had it, and they got it during the conscription.
In ~1950 the government gave all the women also an ID to vote, and the age was self reported because the official records were a mess (most of the records were only the baptism date keep by the church).
Many of the old women subtracted 5 or 10 years from their real age :).
