Child’s Apple ID verification code
I am stuck on the PayPal verification code section of creating a child’s Apple ID, where can I get this code from? Nothing on paypals website as far as I can see. Thanks

Hello Bobbyjoe98,
We understand you want to know where to get the verification code to verify the child Apple ID you created. We'd like to help.
You shouldn't have to enter a verification code for the child ID. If you are the family organizer or a guardian, you can create an Apple ID for your child but will need to validate that you're an adult.
Follow the steps below:
"To verify that you're an adult, you need a credit card. On your iPhone, you can also use a driver's license or state ID added to Wallet where available.
In iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 or later
- Go to Settings > Family.
- Tap the Add Member button
.
3. Tap Create Child Account, then tap Continue.
4. Enter the child's name and birth date. Be sure to enter the correct birth date — you can't change it later.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish setting up the account. For your child's Apple ID, you can use their email address, the suggested @icloud.com address, or their Game Center nickname."
More information can be found in this article for creating a child Apple ID: Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support (CA)
If you're using PayPal as your payment method, we'd recommend checking for the verification code on the Organizer's device, or whomever the PayPal payment method is associated with. If you're unable to locate that, check out: What is 2-step verification and how do I turn it on or off?
If you're still unable to locate that using the steps above, reach out to to PayPal using: Contact Customer Service - PayPal
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
