Why law doesn't allow change of age, ethnicity

If the law allows people to change their age and ethnicity, that means the law permits fraud. Age is time, while ethnicity is in our DNA.
@Gviev
It's in your DNA.... you can't change such.
@XtremelifeM
Because changing your ethnicity and age would require altering biological laws, but changing your name and religion don’t.
@Onyeani_Kalu
Ethnicity and Age are given by God your creator, name and religion is man made, that is why.
@aliu_syaro
Ethnicity is inherent attribute, and age is time. While the former cannot be tempered, the latter can be manipulated.
@chidi1989
The law is stricter on ethnicity and age because they are more deeply tied to legal and historical records. Changing these could complicate things like identity verification and official documentation, which is why the rules remain rigid.
