How to Create a Google Developer Account

Enroll in the Google Play Developer Program to publish Android apps on the Play Store.

Creating a Google Play Developer account allows you to publish and manage your apps on the Google Play Store. You will have full control over branding, pricing, and distribution.


Requirements

  • A valid Google account (we recommend using one dedicated to publishing).

  • A valid credit or debit card to pay the one-time $25 registration fee.

  • You must be at least 18 years old.


How to create your Google Play Developer Account

  1. Go to the Google Play Console sign-up page.

  2. Sign in with your Google account to begin the registration process.

  3. Accept the Developer Distribution Agreement by reviewing and agreeing to the terms.

  4. Pay the one-time $25 registration fee using a valid credit or debit card.

  5. Complete your account details.

    • For an Individual account, enter your developer name, email address, physical address, and phone number.

    • For an Organization account, enter your organization name, website, address, phone number, and contact details.

  6. Verify your identity by uploading the required verification documents.

    • Individuals may need to provide a government-issued ID.

    • Organizations may need to provide official legal documentation.

  7. Submit your registration and wait for approval. Account activation may take up to 48 hours.


Pro Tips

  • Use a company email instead of a personal one for easier team management.

  • Choose an Organization account if multiple people will be managing apps.

  • Keep your account details accurate to avoid delays or suspensions.

  • Remember, the $25 fee is one-time, but account access depends on compliance with Google policies.
