One of my referee who is a british has put his running age instead of his completed current age. Is that an issue?

What do you mean 'running age'???
Age is
calculated slightly differently in non-Western cultures.
The child's birth is considered his first birthday and therefore, events occurring in their first year are counted as occurring in the running age of one year (i.e. his first year is still occurring/running), while according to Western computation, the child has not completed a year yet.
Therefore sometimes even an age can get mistranslated between cultures. Most people in Eastern countries have two ages, running (for local cultural requirements) and complete (for requirements dealing with Western cultures).
In this case, it is an irrelevance, as the referee is well above the age requirements.
