The only thing that changes is who has access to the private key of an address. That event could be somehow tracked in certain scenarios, but not in a general way.

IMO, you should check the first time the address received any coins. This is the first registry of that address in the blockchain.

But you can find some older off-chain registries. Such as when you send your address to an exchange to make an withdrawal.

You can send coins to an address that belongs to no one. For example one of the bitcoin eaters: 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE

You can see the history of the address here: https://mempool.space/address/1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE

But no one has access to that private key.
