How do I update my email address?

Updated: 19 September 2016

1. First, make sure you’re signed in to your BBC account.

2. Then, on any BBC website, click the “Your account” icon at the top of the page. (If you’ve got a display name, it’ll show your display name, not “Your account”). It’s in the navigation bar, near your web browser’s address bar.

3. Choose “Settings” and you’ll be taken to your personal details.

4. On the “Personal details” screen, click “Edit” next to your email address and enter a new one. You'll need to enter your password so we know it's you.

5. Then click "Save and continue".

6. Remember to use your new email address the next time you sign in to the BBC.

7. Once you’ve changed your email address, we’ll send you a new email to verify it. Make sure you verify it, or you won’t be able to do things like comment on BBC News stories.
