This may not be the right answer. But might be useful When you add a new user, a home directory also will be created by default if you don't mention -M with useradd. You can check when the home directory is created in /home and this will be same as the time when user is created.

Hi, I used 'useradd' to create a new for my Redhat system. Is there a command that I can find out when this user was added to the system?
