They have the right to modification.
They do not have the right to use those modifications as a state-recognised proof of age without gaining certified compliance.

You are basically asking for the right to modify your driver's license and have the right to require nation states allow you to use it to drive a car.
You can modify your driver's license all you want.
It then becomes unusable in certain situations.
