Can I Change my Child’s PSN Name?
Are you wanting to change your child’s PlayStation Network (PSN) name but unsure whether it’s possible? Rest assured, I’m about to provide a comprehensive rundown on the rules and potential outcomes.
Online ID’s Can’t be Changed for Child Accounts
Before jumping into the question, understand that online ID’s in child accounts cannot be changed. PSN’s official stance stands firm on this, emphasized in bolded text – Online IDs can’t be changed for child accounts**. A child is defined as someone under 18 years of age when signing up for a sub-account.
Here’s important context: you can modify the child account’s access level, account type or add/remove administrators, by visiting the ‘Parent Account’ section from the sub-account’s settings. However, the child account’s fundamental identity, reflected in its PSN handle, becomes permanent once created**.
You can’t use the method mentioned in Sony’s policies to change PSN nickname, as well as upgrading a child sub-account once the child member reaches eighteen.
