See -> If you can't make purchases or update apps, including free apps, you need to update your payment method or add a new one


See the following Apple articles:

Payment methods you can use with your Apple ID

i don’t have a credit card.

You need to have a billing address.

Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details.

->edit your billing addres.


OR

To add / change the billing address you can do (macOS & Windows OS) via iTunes

Start Music -> Click on iTunes -> side bar click iTunes Store -> go to Account (top bar) -> View Account -> Sign in -> Apple ID Summary -> Billing Address -> Edit.

 

(iPhone & iPad) Go to -> Settings -> tap your Profile -> Payment and shipping -> Change Address.

Edit the Address -> tap Done.
