Have you recently moved or are planning to relocate? If you have a Spotify Duo or Family plan, you’ll need to update your address to ensure seamless streaming. Changing your address is easy and can be done in just a few steps.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about changing your address on Spotify for Duo and Family plans.
Why Change Your Spotify Address?
There are a couple of reasons why you may need to update your Spotify address:
- Moving to a new location – If you’re relocating, you’ll want your Spotify account details to reflect your new address. This ensures your account is updated with accurate location data.
- Streaming restrictions – Spotify has certain licensing restrictions based on location. Changing your address ensures you can keep streaming your favorite music and podcasts if you move somewhere new.
- Spotify recommendations – The tracks and artists that Spotify recommends are influenced by your location. Updating it helps keep your personalized recommendations relevant.
- Family Plan management – For Spotify Family plans, your address helps verify family members live at the same residence. Keeping it updated avoids issues managing your family account.
So in short, changing your Spotify address keeps your account details accurate and allows you to keep enjoying Spotify wherever you are.

For Duo Plan
If you share a Spotify Duo plan, here are some additional things to note when changing your address:
- Both you and the other member will need to update your addresses individually.
- Your addresses don’t have to match after changing. Duo members can now live at different addresses.
- You’ll both receive address change confirmation emails to verify. Make sure to do this within 7 days.
So if you have a Duo plan, coordinate with your partner to ensure you both update your addresses accordingly.
For Family Plan
For Family plan members, here’s what you need to know about address changes:
- Only the Family owner can change the Home address tied to the plan.
- Family members can however change their personal addresses anytime.
- The account owner will receive an email anytime a family member updates their personal address.
- Family members should continue living at the same Home address as the account owner.
- If anyone moves Home, the account owner must update the Home address.
So the Family account Home address should reflect the account owner’s address. But other members can modify their personal addresses independently by following the steps above.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Does Changing My Address Affect My Playlists and Library?
