    Hi Cobo127, 

     

    To create Apple IDs for your children under Family Sharing, you would need a credit card for verification, at least for the initial setup:

     

    Create an Apple ID for your child

     

    Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
