How do I change the email address on my apple id account?

I would like to change the email address associated with my apple id. I am not sure where or how to do that. So I get notifications to a different email now instead of the original email I signed up with.

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Here's how you change the email address (Apple ID) you use for your Apple Account while retaining everything in your account:


1. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in.

2. In the Sign-In and Security section, choose Apple ID.

3. Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID.

4. Choose Change Apple ID.

5. If you changed your Apple ID to a third-party email address, check your old ID email for a verification code, then enter the code. Learn what to do if you didn't get the email. --> If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

6. If you encounter issues with certain servies after doing this, this outdated support article may still have useful suggestions --> What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support
