"Verification Required" when installing free apps?
It is indeed possible to create an Apple ID without a credit card, see "Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card" at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

If you entered credit card information in the past you can dissociate it from your Apple ID as follows.

On an iOS device


Open Settings.
Tap iTunes &amp; App Stores:


Tap your account and select "View Apple ID".
Select Payment information:


Select None:


Confirm with Done.


On a Mac


Open App Store.app:


Select menu Store>View My Account.
In the Apple ID Summary section locate the Payment Information line and click Edit &gt;:


Select None as payment method:




Click Done to confirm.


If you don't see a "none" option, you may need to disable family sharing and then try the above steps again.
