Short Answer: 'No'.

NOT according to the current "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

How do I create a free FamilySearch account?

[ Really, the update (ie. 'revamp') of the "Help" facility, rather than the article ]

https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-create-a-free-familysearch-account

.

Where it states:

Quote

------------------

Age limits — You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Children ages 8 to 12 can create an account with parental permission.

------------------

.

NOTHING has changed.

I hope this helps.

ps: Stay tuned, you never know, "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch' are notoriously behind the times (ie. 'Out of Date' to actual changes) ...
