Complete these steps
Are you creating or changing the Sign-In ID for a standard Nintendo Account or a Nintendo Account for a child?
Go to the Nintendo Account website and sign in to your Nintendo Account.
Select Sign-In and Security Settings, then scroll down to the Change Sign-In ID section and select Edit.
Enter your current Nintendo Account password and select
OK.
Enter your desired Sign-In ID and select Save Settings, then select OK.
When setting or changing your Sign-In ID, please enter an ID that will be both easy to remember and unique and not something others will guess.
The Sign-|n ID must be at least 6 characters long and cannot contain capital letters, spaces or punctuation.
You can change your Sign-In ID at any time.
Sign-In IDs are not displayed publicly and have no purpose in games.
After setting your Sign-In ID, we also recommend setting your Nintendo Account Sign-In Method Preference to "Sign-In ID only".
Do you want to use the family group admin's Nintendo Account or the child account to change the Sign-In ID?
