Parent Guide : Creating an Apple ID for Your Child

Before We Start:

  • You must be the child’s parent or legal representative to create a child account.
  • You need an Apple ID with a valid payment method. Learn More
  • If your child's device is already set up with a child-specific Apple ID (under 18), you only need to add your child to Family Sharing
If you're unsure, please follow the steps below.

Step 1: On Your Device

Open Settings
Tap Your Apple ID
Tap “Family Sharing”
Tap “Add Member”
Tap “Create Child Account” and then tap “Continue”
Enter Your Child’s Information:
Enter the correct birth date (it can't be changed later).
Ensure this email is not already registered with Apple.
Enter your or your child’s phone number for verification.
Screen Time Settings:

We recommend selecting "Set up later" on all screens.

Turn off “Ask to Buy”: We recommend selecting "Turn off".
Skip any unnecessary steps.

Great! You’ve created the child-specific Apple ID and added it to Family Sharing. Now, let’s set up your child’s device.

Step 2 : On Your Child’s Device

Open Settings
Tap your child’s Apple ID
Scroll down and tap “Sign Out” from the current account.
