How to write two dates on the same form

Hi. I think Americans write dates on a form like 4/25/13, which means April 25, 2013, but if Americans had to write dates in 1900s, how would they write the two digits to indicate years? Is this correct, assuming someone had to write the date he was born and also assuming it is April 25, 1985?

4/25/85

So, is it correct to write two dates, today's date and the date he was born, on the same form like this? Thank you for your help in advance.

Today's date: 4/25/13
Date of Birth: 4/25/85

Yes. If you wanted to write a date where confusion was likely, such as one more than 100 years ago, use 4 digits for the year, e.g. 4/25/1910, otherwise the form 4/25/85 is fine.
