Yes! There are a number of reasons for having an adult Bar Mitzvah - you may not have celebrated it when you were a child, you may have converted in later years, or you may have experienced a spiritual awakening, and you want to mark your commitment to the Jewish people again - as a mature adult.
You can have a bar/bat mitzvah at any age, although there is a custom to have a second bar mitzvah at age 73.

∙ 14y agoIf you're a Jewish male, you become a bar mitzvah when you turn 13. If you're a Jewish female,
you become a bat mitzvah when you turn 12. How and when you decide to celebrate, or whether
you decide to celebrate at all, is an individual matter, with no great traditional mandate.
