What is my "notification email address"?  ...

I tried to change my Apple ID.  I got this message: "Your new Apple ID cannot be the same as your notification email address.  Choose a different email address".  So how do I change my "notification email address"?  That is the one I need to use now.

Hi,

The "notification email address" is a secondary email address used in case of a compromised apple ID to send a recovery email. You can change it with another email address at https://appleid.apple.com/

Thanks for the reply.  What I hadn't realised is that I have to click "Edit", in the Security section, in order to see the "Notification Email".  With your prompting I eventually found it and all is now well.

Thanks again.

I added the email I want to change my apple id to under "reachable at" at the link you provided, then tried to change my apple id to that email address & still got the message "apple id cannot be notification id."  The email I wanted to change to wasn't in "reachable at" the 1st time I tried to change apple id, so where do I find the "notification id?"

What do you have set up as your Rescue e-mail? It can't be the address you are trying to make your Apple ID.

I know.  That's why I kept getting the message that "apple ID can't be same as notification (rescue) email" but I didn't know how to access my rescue email.  I finally found it in the "Security" section by selecting "edit."  Then it showed up.  I had been looking in the "Account" section .

Maybe you need ANOTHER email address for NOTIFICATION.

That is what it seems to me to be breaking down towards.

Then wait a day or two, then go back and put any address you want as your new Apple ID.

I'm having the same problem and maybe that is the only solution I am able to track down.
