There is no record of his birth but it would have occurred early in the first century.
The Apostle Paul was born a Jew in Tarsus, as Saul, a Roman citizen, about the same time of Christ's birth. He was met on the Road to Damascus c. 34 AD, in a blinding light, by the risen Christ, who asked Saul why He was persecuting Him. Saul had sought to destroy Christianity, but was converted by Christ, whom He served the remainder of his life to c. 67 AD. Christ ultimately named him Paul after he was called as a missionary to the Gentiles.
According to Acts 22:3, St. Paul was born in the city of Tarsus, in the province of Cilicia. So his birthplace was in the modern-day province of Mersin, in southern Turkey.
Paul was 56 years old in 61AD, making him born in 5AD.

The apostle Paul, then known as Saul of Tarsus, was said to be a "young man" following the ascension of Christ (Acts 7:58), indicating that Jesus was born into the world well beforePaul.
OpinionI would say Apostle Paul wherever I use 'Apostle' as a title, in the same way as I would say Mr Smith, with 'Mr' capitalised. Less frequently, I would write 'apostle' uncapitalised if I did not intend it as a title, for example where 'apostle' is the subject of the sentence, and Paul is addressed. Use capitals to be on the safe side.
Luke was a companion of Paul, and not a apostle.
