Learn how to request to be the primary admin or contact for a QuickBooks account.
If the primary admin or contact is unavailable to transfer the role to you, it’s okay. Even if they’re not around or can’t make the change on their own, you can send a request to our account protection team. Here’s what to do.
Step 1: Gather documents for your request #
To protect your account and data, we need documentation to verify that you have rightful ownership or access privileges for the account.
The business type and ownership determines which documents we need to verify and assign a new primary admin or contact. Review the following section to find out what you need to provide.
What type of business is this? #
Note:
If the primary admin or contact was the owner and is deceased then you’ll need to provide the same documents as above. You’ll also need to provide ONE of the following business documents:
- Proof of Transfer of Ownership.
- Power of Attorney.
