How To Change Nintendo Account Country/Region
Steps for updating the country/region setting for a Nintendo Account.
Important: The country/region settings for child accounts (15 and under) cannot be changed individually. If the family group admin changes their own country/region setting, the child accounts in the family group will have their country/region settings updated automatically.
What to do
- Go to the Nintendo Account website and sign in to your Nintendo Account.
- Select User Information.
- In the “Profile” section, select Change.
- In the “Country/region” dropdown, select the desired country/region.
- Select Save changes.
- Read the information about changing your country/region, then select I agree to confirm the change.
- Can't change country/region (Nintendo eShop balance, automatic renewal or pre-order)
- You may receive a message that it is not possible to change your country/region setting because of an outstanding Nintendo eShop balance, active automatic renewal for a membership or pass or because you have pre-ordered downloadable content that is not yet available.
- To be able to change your country/region setting, you will need to do one or more of the following:
- For an unspent Nintendo eShop balance, you will need to spend the balance.
- You will need to cancel the automatic renewal for your Nintendo Switch Online membership, Pokémon HOME Premium plan and any in-game passes.
- For outstanding pre-orders, you will need to cancel the pre-order.
