My mother was trying to verify my identity but ended up using the wrong SSN, and now my account is restricted. How do we unrestrict it? Any tips?

  1. If your account is restricted, you can still transfer your Apple Cash balance to your bank or use it to make purchases in stores, within apps, and on the web.1
  2. If your account is locked, you can't use Apple Cash to make purchases; add, send and receive money; or transfer the money in your account.
