Hi AJ512,
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Re: can’t add my debit card to my Apple ID
Wondering which device you are using (iPad, iPhone, Mac etc)
and
whether the birthdate listed in your own Apple ID reflects your correct age.
and
what happens when you try to add your debit card (error message ?)
You could try restarting your device, to clear the way:
Eg: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
or Restart your iPad - Apple Support
or Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
You may need to add your own card, before your Mom can remove hers.
(ie: Active subscriptions etc., require there is always one card listed).
How to check your card is one that Apple in your country can accept:
Payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID – Apple Support
How to: Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support
For your Mom to remove her card:
How to: Remove a payment method from your Apple ID - Apple Support
Please feel free to let us know if you still need help.
All the best :-)
