In order to change Apple ID, you need an Email Address that has never been used as Apple ID or used to create an iCloud or iTunes Account.

Things to Do After Changing Apple ID

After changing Apple ID, it really important that you update your New Sign-in information with App Store, iTunes, Books, Messages and Find My iPhone.

All that is required to change your Sign-in information with any Apple Service is to simply Sign-in to the Service using your New Apple ID and Passcode.

If you are already signed-in to an Apple Service with your Old Apple ID, you need to first logout from the service and Sign-in again, using your New Apple ID and New Passcode.
