change kids apple id

I've created kids Apple ID for Family sharing sometime back. Now kids are soon getting their own phones, but they want to change the Apple ID I've created.

I couldn't find a way to change their Apple ID as they are still under 13. I know we can create an alias in iCloud, besides that there doesn't seem to be a way to change the Apple ID (let's say from abc@icloud.com to zyd@icloud.com).


I appreciate your help regarding this. Thank you

You can't change iCloud addresses. You can only use the original iCloud address.


Note the restrictions in the article.


Apple ID Name Change.  * 


Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
