How to create an EA ID

Your EA ID is how you’re known in your games, on our websites, and on EA Forums. Your EA ID is the same as your Public ID and is set up when you create your EA Account.

Where to find your EA ID?

1. Log in to your EA Account.
2. You’ll find your EA ID under Account Information.

How to update your EA ID?

1. Log in to your EA Account.
2. Find your EA ID under Account Information.
3. Select Edit next to your EA ID.

To help keep your EA Account secure, we limit how often you can update your EA ID. You can only update your EA ID once every 30 days.

An error message will appear while creating your EA ID if it’s already taken by another EA Account user or the security filter flags the combination of letters, words, or special characters as inappropriate.

For player safety, an EA ID also can’t contain a name or any other identifying information. To proceed, you’ll need to come up with a unique identifier.
