You can manually set this using Laravel  just remember to add  created at  to your  fillable array   protected  fillable     name    created at

In your User model  add the following line in the User class   public  timestamps   true    Now  whenever you save or update a user  Laravel will automatically update the created at and updated at fields    Update  If you want to set the created at manually you should use the date format Y-m-d H i s  The problem is that the format you have used is not the same as Laravel uses for the created at field   Update  Nov 2018 Laravel 5 6      message    Access level to App  Note   timestamps must be public       Make sure you have the proper access level as well  Laravel 5 6 is public

In my case  I wanted to unit test that users weren t able to verify their email addresses after 1 hour had passed  so I didn t want to do any of the other answers since they would also persist when not unit testing  so I ended up just manually updating the row after insert      Create new user  user   factory User  class - gt create        Add an email verification token to the     email verification tokens table  token    user- gt generateNewEmailVerificationToken        Get the time 61 minutes ago  created at    new Carbon   - gt subMinutes 61       Do the update  DB  update       UPDATE email verification tokens SET created at             created at       Note  For anything other than unit testing  I would look at the other answers here
