How to register child for LDS.org login?

Hi,
How may I register my daughter so she may have her own login and password? She has her own checking account and would like to pay tithing online.
Thank you,

Online donations are only available for children 13 years or older (see Q18 in the Donations FAQ). If your daughter is at least 13 you should be able to create an LDS Account for her using her membership record number and birthday by using the 'Register for an LDS Account' link on the lds.org sign in page or by going to https://ldsaccount.lds.org. Once she has an LDS Account she should be able to access the online donations page on lds.org.

Assuming she's in a country that supports on-line donations (like the US).

Is there an age limit required to create an account?

That's true for online donations.

I wasn't able to find anything authoritative, but this post indicates the minimum age for the account itself is age 8.

Oops. Sorry. Age 8 for the LDS Account and age 13 to use online donations, as russellhltn has clarified.
