   • Can't change country (Nintendo eShop balance, auto-renewal, or pre-order)

     You may receive a message that it is not possible to change your country setting because of an outstanding Nintendo eShop balance, active auto-renewal for a membership, pass, or subscription, or because you have pre-ordered downloadable content that is not yet available.

     To be able to change your country setting, you will need to do one or more of the following:

     • For unspent Nintendo eShop balances, you will need to spend the balance.
     • You will need to cancel the auto-renewal for your Nintendo Switch Online membership, Pokémon HOME Premium plan, or any in-game subscriptions.
     • For outstanding pre-orders, cancel the pre-order.
   • Changing to the United States or Quebec

     If you are a member of a family group and have the admin role, any Nintendo Accounts for children who are subject to verifiable parental consent laws in the family group will be unusable until they undergo a confirmation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter credit card information for a one-time charge to reactivate the child accounts.
