Account email addresses

You can add and/or update email addresses associated with your ORCID account by clicking on the pencil icon  in the Emails section of your ORCID record at https://orcid.org/my-orcid

We recommend registering at least two email addresses to your account; for example, your institutional email address and personal email address. This will enable you to have multiple methods of signing into your ORCID account and ensure that you’re never locked out. Learn more at sign into ORCID.

You can perform other actions such as verifying or deleting an email address, or adding a new email address to the account:

• Primary Email
  Each account has one email set as the Primary Email. This is where ORCID will send your inbox notifications, if you have opted to receive them, as well as service announcements about your account. You can change your primary email address by clicking on Make primary email next to the email address you want to use.
  
  
• Verify Email
  The Resend verification email button will send an email message to its associated address with a link you can follow to verify that you have access to that email address.
  
  
• Delete Email
  If you want to delete an email address, click the delete icon (trash bin) next to that email address. Note: your primary email address cannot be deleted until you select another email address as your new primary email address.
  
  
• Visibility
  You can also control the visibility of each of your email addresses by using the visibility selector on the right hand side.
  
  
• Add New Email
  To add a new email address to your account, click in Add another email address, enter the desired email address and click the Save Changes button. A verification email will automatically be sent to that address. Learn more about verifying your email address.
