Change email address
Unless you’re a ServiceNow employee, Partner Portal admin, or Now Support admin, you can change your email address for your ServiceNow account.
- Source email – This is the current email address you use to sign in to your ServiceNow account. For example, this address is from a previous employer or another address you don’t access anymore.
- Target email – This is the new email address you want to use moving forward. Possibly, it’s your address from your new employer.
- Most importantly, this action is irreversible.
- You’ll lose access to your source email and any company data associated with it.
- All non-company data will transfer to your new ServiceNow ID.
- From servicenow.com, sign in to your account using the Sign In button at the top right of the webpage.
- Once you’re signed in, open the drop-down menu by your name and select My profile and settings.
- Scroll down to the Account section and find ServiceNow ID.
- Click the Update ID link, enter your new email address in the Target email field, and click Continue.
- Click the Send Code button. A verification code is sent to your target email address.
- Check your email for a notification from ServiceNow with a verification code. Enter that code and click Verify.
- Review the information on your screen carefully.
- Select Yes or No to receiving marketing emails.
- Carefully read the instructions on your screen, telling you what data you may lose and what data that will be carried forward if your new email already exists. If you agree to all that, click Submit.
- If your new email does not already exist in ServiceNow: We’ll sign you out automatically so we can add your new email address. Once it’s done, we notify you at your target email address. This typically takes a few minutes
- If your new email exists in ServiceNow: We don’t sign you out. We process the change and notify you at both your source and target email addresses. This usually takes a few minutes but can take up to 48 hours. You can sign in to ServiceNow using your new email with previous email password.
What you’ll retain:
- Your source email Community data will transfer to the target email.
- You will permanently lose all Community contributions tied to your target email, including:
- Posts and comments
- Solutions
- Badges
Once the update is complete, your source Community data will be visible or accessible under your target email address.
- Your Now Learning personal learning history, including badges, certifications, and in-progress courses within your Now Learning account
- An updated Now Learning sign in: We’ll update your Now Learning email to your target email.
- The association between your Now Learning account and company account
- The benefits associated with a previous company account – If you’re changing your email address because you’ve changed jobs and were using the email address from your previous employer: You won’t have access to that company’s training benefits, including but not limited to learning credits, discounts, or any other company account entitlements. To get these entitlements back, you need to request to be relinked with that company account.
This is likely because you’re associated with an active partner account as a primary partner contact. To change your email, assign the primary partner contact role to another user first. Then try changing your email address again. If you need more help, email Partner Operations or submit an inquiry through the Partner Portal.
This is likely because you’re associated with an active primary customer admin account on Now Support. To change your email, assign the primary customer admin role to another user within your organization. Then try changing your email address again.
If you need more help, create a case at Now Support.
- First, we’ll unlink the Webassessor accounts associated with both your source email and target email from your ServiceNow ID sign-in IDs.
- Once you’ve verified your new email address, go to Now Learning and link your Webassessor account to your new target email.
It can take a few minutes for the code to arrive in your inbox. If it doesn’t, click the Resend Code button. If the Resend Code option is unavailable, click the Change Multifactor Authentication Option to select an alternate verification method. You’ll only see this link if you have set up additional MFA options on your ServiceNow account, like your phone number.
Still need help? Email our Single Sign-On team.
ServiceNow employees and former employees must email Web Support to change their email address.
