Epiphyseal plates close after puberty. This because your body begins to produce testosterone, which is in turn converted into estrogen, which is responsible for the closing of the growth plate or Epiphyseal Plate. So it differs from person to person, if you have gone through puberty then your growth plates are developed.
Usually around age 20, after puberty has completed. Although they do no "close" as such they simply ossify (lay down calcium and become real bone)

Growth of length in a long bone occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
Epiphyseal plate
The epiphyseal disk is the growth plate in long bones that is found between the two epiphyses and the diaphysis. This is a space that remains as long as a person is growing. When growth is completed, the epiphyses and the diaphysis meet and fuse forming a line.
The epiphyseal plate is a section of hyaline cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis in long bones. The growth and ossification of the epiphyseal plate is responsible for the bone growing longer. Articulate cartilage is similar, however, it is found on the outside layer of the epiphysis. It grows and resorbs allowing for the remodelling of the bone. The epiphyseal line is the remains of the epiphyseal plate once it has stopped growing.

The epiphyseal plate is composed of cartilage. As the child grows, the cartilage hardens into bone. The epiphyseal plate is located at the ends of the long skeletal bones.

If an x-ray shows a black area in the region of the epiphyseal plate, it means that the epiphyseal plate has not completely ossified. The bone is not fractured.

Epiphyseal plate
When the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, then growth at that bone stops.
the epiphyseal plate is also called the growth plate. it is the area of cartilage between the diaphysis (the long shaft of the bone) and the epiphysis (the end of a bone). the cartilage will expand and go through a process called ossification and turn into bone. when a person is done growing the epiphyseal plate will turn into an epiphyseal line.
