Hey there,

Luckily, if you still remember the password to your Apple ID, then you can change the email address associated with your account in a couple of ways.

  • Go to this website (appleid.apple.com).
  • Sign in with your defunct email address and your password.
  • Under the Account section, click Edit.
  • Click Change Apple ID under the Apple ID section.
  • Enter the email address you’d like to use as your new Apple ID.
  • Click continue.


If you’re logged into an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch device, and you’re running at least iOS 10.3 or later, then you can change your Apple ID email address straight from your device.

  • Open Settings
  • Tap on your Apple ID card at the top.
  • Select on Name, Phone Numbers, Email.
  • Choose Edit.
  • Tap on the red mark next to your old email to delete it.
  • Choose Continue on the window that pops up.
  • Enter the email address you’d like to use instead.
  • (Note: Apple may ask you to validate via security questions before you can continue.)
  • Tap Next.

Best,
