How do I change my AWS account name?
Resolution
You can change the name of an AWS account in the AWS Billing and Management console.
Note: The AWS account name can be modified only by the root user. For more information, see Tasks that require root user credentials.
- Sign in to the AWS account that you want to modify using your AWS account root user credentials.
- Choose your name from the navigation bar, and then select My Account.
- Next to Account Settings, choose Edit.
Note: If you aren't signed in as the root user, the Edit option isn't available. - Enter the new AWS account name, and then choose Update.
Note: The updated account name can take up to four hours to reflect in the AWS Management Console.
