He's 12 lol

Yes and most twelve year olds don't have photo id but since he has moved from China to the US he might have a passport.

I wouldn't let digital ocean know you are 12, they will shut the account like Github did.

Yes and then his parents won't be billed on their credit card which is what he wants.

If I read GGP's comment correctly, he will be 13 by the time/before the credit on digital ocean runs out.
