Name Change

I recently got a name change due to marriage. How do I change my current icloud email address without having to create a new one? Or how can I create a new one with my new name and make it my new Apple ID?

iPhone 6s, iOS 11

You can't change/remove @iCloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com aliases. You can create a new iCloud alias, but you can't use that as the Apple ID address.


iCloud - Create or change email aliases.   -


If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID.


Apple ID - create a new.      *
