Before you proceed:

In order to set up your account, you'll be required to make a one-time payment of USD 25 as a registration fee. You might also need to undergo identity verification by presenting a valid ID to complete the account registration process. In the event that we are unable to authenticate your identity, the registration fee will not be reimbursed.

Here are the steps to create a Google Play Developer Account:

Step 1: Visit the Google Play Developer Console website.

Go to the Google Play Developer Console website at https://play.google.com/console/signup.

Step 2: Sign in with your Google Account

Sign in with your existing Google Account or create a new one if you do not have one.

Step 4: Fill in your Organization’s Details

Enter your organization or business details like name, address, phone number, etc. to start the enrolment process.

Step 5: Fill in the ‘About You’ section

Now, explain why you want to create a Google Play Console account in the ‘About You’ section. You can answer by mentioning your previous experience using Play Console. Also, make sure to mention any other Google Accounts you’ve used.

Step 6: Complete your Developer Profile

Fill in your Developer Profile, including your company name and contact details. You will also need to provide a name for your Developer Account.

Step 7: Complete the 'Apps' section
