Creating a developer account for your personalized Android App

  • Next, you will need to click on create an account and type in your Google account details. If you don’t see this page, it means that you are already logged in with your Google account and you just need to click your avatar/name to proceed with it.
  • You will now need to choose between whether you want this developer account to be created for personal use or if it’s for a business or an organization. Choose yourself if your account is for personal use. For example, if you’re a student, hobbyist, or semi-professional developer. You will still be able to earn money on Google Play and invite others to join your account.
  • Choose an organization or business if you’re creating an account for an organization or business. For example, if you’re engaged in commercial, industrial, professional, or governmental activities. On you’ve chosen, click on Get Started.
  • If you choose yourself, then you’ll need to fill in the following details and check on Agree to the terms and conditions. To create an account, you need to pay a one-off $25 registration fee. You may be asked to verify your identity using a valid ID to complete your account registration.
  • If you choose to go with the option which says an organization or business, then you will need to fill in these details and also will need to file a certificate of verification for your organization. The development of your app begins once the verification is done by Google. The process usually takes about 2 days but can be completed sooner.
  • Complete the payment of 25 USD either through a credit card or a debit card. Fill in the details of your card and click on Buy. If Google doesn’t verify your identity, the registration fee won’t be refunded so please make sure you fill in the right details and have valid documentation before you sign up with a Google developer account.
  • Once the verification is done, a notification will be sent to you through email confirming your account and you can begin developing your app.
