Recover my notes after migrating to new Apple id

My husband is trying to get me off his Apple ID and onto my own Apple ID. When he did this all of my notes from my phone did not transfer to the new Apple ID under my email. How do I transfer my notes from the old Apple ID to my new Apple ID?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hi Janjabine,

Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. You'll need to be signed into the old Apple ID and then you can archive your Notes to be sure the data is not lost. Check out how to do so here: Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support

Once you've done that you can move the info to the new Apple ID. Follow the steps listed below.

Go to Settings > Notes and enable the "On My [device]" Account
Follow the steps under the "Move a note to a different folder" section to move the notes from your iCloud account to the "On My [device]" account: Use Notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Sign out of iCloud: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac
Sign in to the new iCloud account on your device and move the notes to the new iCloud account following the process under step 3.

Following these steps should have the Notes available for your current Apple ID.

Kind regards.
