Adding additional email to existing Apple ID...No code received

Hello!

I have followed instructions for adding additional email to already existing Apple ID; however, after multiple attempts I still have yet to receive verification code. And, I have checked all folders including: trash, archive, etc. Help, please!

Thanks!

Hi FFDL1,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We'd recommend following this guidance from If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support which matches what you've described and may help you get this sorted.


1 Search for the email
We'll send the email from "Apple," so you can quickly search for it. If it isn't in your inbox, check your folders. If a spam filter or email rule moved the email, it might be in the Spam, Junk, Trash, Deleted Items, or Archive folder.
 
2 Make sure you're checking the correct email account
If you're looking for a password reset email, make sure you're checking the correct email inbox. It will either be your primary Apple ID email address or a separate rescue or notification email address that you added to your account. 
If you're looking for a verification email, you can sign in to your Apple ID account page and review all the email addresses you have on file, including the one that you're trying to verify. If the email address is incorrect, you can update it and send another verification email.
 
3 Resend the email
To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.
To resend the verification email, sign in to your Apple ID account page. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.
 
4 Make sure that you're getting email
If you're not getting any email, you might need to contact your email service provider for help. Learn what to do if you can’t send or receive email on your Mac or if iCloud mail isn’t working.


If the email is still not received, is this email address possibly associated with another Apple ID? If so, try another email as that might be the issue.


Take care.
