    Hi there randy9300,

     

    If you are looking to change your Apple ID country to another you can do so with the following article:

     

    Change your iTunes Store country or region

    Keep these points in mind, because some things dont carry over when you change your region:

    What you need know before you change your country or region

    When you change your iTunes Store country:

    • You need to update your billing address to one in your new country. When you change your billing address, the primary address in your account at My Apple ID and your other Apple services, such as the App Store and iCloud, automatically updates.
    • You might need to update your payment method. For example, only German credit cards can be used to buy content from the German iTunes Store and App Store.
    • You won't see the items that you purchased from the previous country’s store in your Purchased section.
    • You won’t see the items from your iCloud Music Library that you matched, uploaded, or added from the previous country’s store.

    When you make a purchase in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store, the country in your iTunes Store account information must match the country listed in your account at My Apple ID.
