Google | Create a Google Account

A Google Account is required to access services such as the Google Play Console.

Be aware: Create a Google Account, not a Google Workspace account. A Google Workspace account requires a paid subscription.

Tip: We recommend using a shared or general email address (for example apps@company.com) that multiple people in your organization can access. This ensures you retain access in case of vacations, illness, or personnel changes.

Option 1: Create a Google Account during Play Console registration

If you are setting up a Google Play Console account, you can create your Google Account as part of the registration process: click here to get started.  

Option 2: Create a Google Account directly

You can also create your Google Account first by visiting this link. 

Then follow these steps:

Step 1:
Click Create account.

Step 2:
Select For my personal use. Selecting For work results in creating a Google Workspace account.

Step 3:
Enter the account holder’s first name and, optionally, last name.

Note: Google may later require identity verification using a valid government-issued ID. The account should therefore represent a real individual.

Enter your date of birth. Adding your gender is optional.

Choose one of the following:

• Use your existing email address by selecting Use your existing email, or
• Create a new Gmail address by following the prompts.

Step 4: 
Verify your email address (if using an existing email). Google will send a verification code that must be entered to continue.

Step 5:
Create a secure password.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) to improve the security of the account. This is strongly recommended and required for many Google services.

Next steps

Once your Google Account has been created, you can use it to sign in to Google services such as the Google Play Console.
