Account and marketplace guide

How to change your Audible country or marketplace

You can change your Audible marketplace from its country selector. Before you confirm, check whether the new country is in the same marketplace region, whether you have a local billing address and payment method, and whether your membership is billed through an app store. A marketplace change affects available titles, local prices, and plan options; it is not the same as changing Audible's display language.

Quick answer

Change the marketplace only after checking the account details that travel with it.

Audible says its country selector lets you choose a marketplace that shows local titles, pricing, and membership plans. You can switch among countries within the same marketplace region. For a move to a different region, Audible says to contact support. To complete a change, it requires a billing address and payment method issued in the selected country; without those, you can browse another marketplace but cannot complete the switch or start a membership there.

Decision check

First separate a country change from two look-alike problems.

You moved or need local pricing

Change the marketplace

Use the country selector when the marketplace itself should reflect your country. This can change the titles, prices, and membership plan shown to you.

The app looks unfamiliar or a title seems absent

Check the signed-in marketplace first

Audible says a Library may appear empty when the app is signed in to the wrong marketplace. Sign out, select the marketplace where you bought the title, then sign back in before attempting an account move.

You only want different site text

Change the language preference

Audible treats browsing language and marketplace as separate settings. A language preference changes the app or web experience, not the language of an audiobook edition.

How to change it

Use the route that matches where you are signed in.

  1. Confirm the destination country is supported. Audible's marketplace table is the current reference for which countries belong to each marketplace. If the destination is in another region, follow its instruction to contact support rather than repeatedly trying the country selector.
  2. Check your local payment details before starting. Audible says a completed change needs a billing address and payment method issued in the selected country. Browsing is possible without them, but membership enrollment and a completed switch are not.
  3. On desktop, select the country and currency indicator. Choose Change marketplace, select the country, and choose Update. On mobile web, use the main menu, then the country and currency indicator, choose the country, and update.
  4. In the Audible app, open Profile and Settings. Select Marketplace, choose the country, and confirm. If the app is only showing the wrong Library, use the sign-out and marketplace-selection steps in Audible's missing-title guidance instead.
  5. Review the confirmation and the next billing date. Keep a record of your current credits, any coupon balance, pending pre-orders, and the payment method before you accept the change. The live account screen is more reliable than a past price or a screenshot.

What changes

Your plan, pricing, credits, and playback do not all behave the same way.

Membership plan

It changes at the next billing cycle

Audible says an active membership is moved to the equivalent plan available in the selected marketplace. The current plan remains active until renewal, then the new local plan and currency take effect.

Unused credits

They carry over, subject to expiry

Audible says unused credits remain available after a marketplace change and can be used before their expiry. Coupon balances do not transfer, so treat a coupon as a separate balance.

Purchased Library

It remains listed, but playback can vary

Audible says purchased titles stay in the Library. Some can be blocked from playback in the new location because of geographic restrictions, so check the titles that matter before relying on them for a trip.

This is why a country change is a practical access decision, not merely a currency preference. If one particular audiobook matters, verify its edition, availability, and playback status in the destination marketplace before making the switch.

App-store billing

A membership billed through Apple or Google needs an extra check.

Audible says that if an App Store or Google Play Store manages your membership, you need to cancel the current subscription and subscribe again in the new country. Its Apple and Google help pages also direct subscribers to manage plans through the relevant store. Check the end date and subscription screen before cancelling so you do not mistake deleting the Audible app or signing out for a billing change.

If you are deciding whether to change, pause, or end an existing plan, read our Audible membership-change guide and membership-pause guide first. They cover plan and billing choices, while this guide focuses on the marketplace itself.

After the change

Run a short Library and account check.

  1. Open Account details. Confirm the country, currency, plan name, next renewal date, and payment method shown after the update.
  2. Open Credit Summary. Confirm the number and expiry dates of unused credits. Do not assume a coupon balance moved with them.
  3. Test one purchased title that matters. A visible title can still be subject to a location-based playback restriction, so verify before a flight, commute, or long trip.
  4. Search the new marketplace for your next title. Catalog availability and pricing are marketplace-controlled and can change. Search Audible's current catalog ↗. We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Common questions

Marketplace changes, clarified.

Can I change Audible marketplace while I have a membership?

Yes. Audible says your active plan remains until the next renewal date, then changes to the equivalent plan available in the selected country at local pricing. Confirm the specific plan in the change flow.

Do Audible credits transfer when I change country?

Audible says unused credits remain available after a marketplace change and can be used before they expire. Coupon balances do not transfer across marketplaces.

Why are my Audible books missing after I changed country?

Check the app's marketplace before assuming the purchase is gone. Audible says signing in to the wrong marketplace can make the Library look empty. Purchased titles stay in the Library after a marketplace change, although some can be restricted from playback in the new location.
