The account owner email address and country can't be changed. However, you can create a new account using a different email address or country and transfer your apps to your new account.

Accounts with published or unpublished apps

To transfer apps to a new account, go to our app transfer checklist.

Accounts without apps

If you haven't published any apps using your existing Play Console account, you can create a new account and cancel your existing account.

After you've created and linked a payments profile to your Play Console account, your linked accounts and payments country setting can't be changed.

If you want to change the payments profile linked to your developer account, you can create a new developer account and payments profile and link the new accounts.

Tip: Payments profile balances can't be transferred between accounts. If you have a payments profile with an outstanding or pending balance, it's a good idea to keep that account open until any remaining balances have been paid out.
