How to Deregister a Nintendo Account's Pass-enabled Console

Follow these steps to deregister the pass-enabled console registered for your Nintendo Account.

Note

Deregistering one console will allow you to select a different console as the pass-enabled console for your Nintendo Account. Each Nintendo Account can have one pass-enabled Nintendo Switch console at a time.

Complete These Steps:

  1. Select Nintendo eShop on the HOME Menu to launch the Nintendo eShop.

  2. Select the Nintendo Account you want to deregister on the console.

  3. Select the picture of your icon in the upper-right corner to access your Account Information.

  4. Scroll down to the Pass-enabled Console status.

  5. Select Deregister twice to confirm. If your account is set to require a password, you will also need to enter your Nintendo Account password to confirm.

  6. Repeat these steps for any additional Nintendo Accounts that you wish to deregister from this console.

  7. The next time you connect to the Nintendo Switch eShop, the console you use to connect will automatically be set as your pass-enabled console.

Important

  • Deregistering a pass-enabled console through the Shop Menu website can only be done once per year. If you have the pass-enabled console available, we recommend deregistering on the console itself.

  • If you have already deregistered through the website in the past year, and you do not have the pass-enabled console available, please contact us for support.

  1. Using a web browser, visit the Shop Menu (ec.nintendo.com/my) website.

  2. Sign in to the Nintendo Account you wish to deregister.

  3. Scroll down and select Deregister Pass-enabled Console.

  4. Enter your Nintendo Account password.

  5. Select Deregister twice to confirm.

  6. The next time you connect to the Nintendo eShop from a Nintendo Switch console, the console you use to connect will automatically be set as your pass-enabled console.
