Moving an account between organizations requires you to remove the account from an organization, make the account standalone, and then accept an invitation to join another organization. There is no impact on workloads in the AWS account during this process.


Prerequisites

Ensure that the following steps are completed for a safe migration of accounts.

  1. AWS accounts require a valid payment method before leaving an organization. 
    1. The easiest way to manage this across multiple accounts in an organization is to ensure that the payment method of each account (including the management account) is set to Invoice.
    2. To change the payment method to invoice for an account, create a support case with the following information from the management account:
      1. AWS Account number, Company Name, Contact Name, Contact Phone, Contact Email, Address, City, State, or Province, Zip, and Country.
  2. Click through AWS Customer Agreement Terms



The navigation steps are:

  1. From root-level login, select [Organization]
  2. Click [Leave this Organization]
  3. Go to [Consolidated Billing] or Invitation page 
  4. Accept the Invitation




Notes:

An account’s status with an organization affects what cost and usage data is visible:


When a member account leaves an organization and becomes a standalone account, the account no longer has access to cost and usage data from the time range when the account was a member of the organization. The account has access only to the data that is generated as a standalone account.


If a member account leaves organization A to join organization B, the account no longer has access to cost and usage data from the time range when the account was a member of organization A. The account has access only to the data that is generated as a member of organization B.


If an account rejoins an organization that it previously belonged to, the account regains access to its historical cost and usage data.
