Step 2: Create an Apple ID

Create a Clean Apple ID

If you don’t already have a suitable Apple ID:

1. Go to: https://appleid.apple.com/account

2. Click "Create Your Apple ID"

3. Use a brand-new email address (not used in any past Apple ID or Developer account)

   • Preferably a business email, like [e-mail]

   • Avoid disposable emails and check domain is not blacklisted

   • When a business email doesn't work, use a personal email address (this only works if the email hasn't been used before to create an Apple account

4. Complete form, CAPTCHA, and verify your email

Troubleshooting Tips:

• If you get “This email address is not available,” try:

  • Different email provider (e.g. Gmail, Outlook)

  • Clearing browser cache or using Incognito mode

  • Waiting a few hours or changing IP (Apple rate-limits)

• Visit https://iforgot.apple.com to check if the email is already used
