What Is Amazon Family?

Amazon Family allows you to easily manage all your shared services, subscriptions, and digital content from one place. You can manage profiles or linked accounts to share benefits and control access to services and content for kids. Amazon Family allows you to share Amazon benefits with another adult and children.

Amazon Household is becoming Amazon Family. All services will remain available during and after this transition.

Amazon Family allows you to share Amazon benefits with another adult and up to four children.

Both adults share select Prime benefits, digital content using Family Library, and can manage the accounts and profiles of children in Amazon Family. An Amazon Family can contain the following members:

• Up to two adults (aged 18 and over), each with their own Amazon account.
• Up to four children (children can't shop on Amazon).

To create or manage your Amazon Family, please visit Manage Your Amazon Family.

Sharing Amazon Prime Benefits

To share Prime benefits and digital content between adults, both adults must link their accounts through Amazon Family and agree to share payment methods. This won't affect current payment settings, but each adult will be able to copy the payment cards of the other account and use them for purchases on Amazon.co.uk. To share Prime Video streaming, both adults must have a Buy Now billing address and payment method within the UK. Both adults will keep their own personal account while sharing Prime benefits.

Prime Video Ad Free subscriptions aren't shared across Amazon Family. Each Amazon account needs to sign up for Ad Free to receive the benefit for their account

Prime can't be shared with children. Prime Student members (trial or paid), Prime Video members (trial or paid), and customers who receive shipping benefits from another member can’t share their Prime benefits.

Visit Amazon Family for a full list of all Prime benefits that can be shared.

Digital Content

You can link two adult Amazon accounts to share eBooks, apps, and games.

Adults can share digital content (eBooks, apps, and games) with children. They can control and personalize each child's experience by selecting what content they can see, and setting educational goals and time limits.

While sharing payment methods is a requirement for adults to share digital content through Family Library, this is not required for an adult to share digital content with children. Please see Share Content Using Family Library for more information.

Content from household member accounts is also shared on compatible Alexa devices. Please see How Do Household Profiles Work on Alexa Devices? for more information.
