Also, how would that work on things like birth certificates?

I feel like celebrating on March 1st when it's not a leap year makes the most sense. If someone was born on February 29, then their birthday is the day after February 28.

Think about what your age is on Feb 28 and March 1 on non leap years.

A year, basically, since you were born after the 28th but also before the 1st, so the next year before the first would already be a year again. Mar 1st would be a year and a day, technically.
