How is it correctly spelled?

agemates

or

age mates

I'm glad that you used ELU to answer a question of yours, but in this case I think that since your question is answered by a dictionary, this is General Reference. Please don't let this discourage you from asking more questions, though :]
@simchona Got it. I didn't know about 'General Reference' rules! Thanks for letting me know.
You're welcome. One thing to be sure to do, in the future, is do a little bit of a lookup. There are some useful references listed here
@simchona Thank you, again. And sorry about that Thanks! that was in the footer.
No problem! I'm glad you noticed what I changed, and I look forward to seeing more questions from you.

Age mate or age-mate.

Age-mate seems to be the most popular, according to Ngram, and a bit of a 1970s thing.
