How to register an account in another country

Sometimes users may encounter the fact that some applications are more expensive in their native store than in the Store of another country, or are not available at all. It is in such situations that you may need to register an Apple ID of another country.

For example, you want to register an American Apple ID. To do this, you will need to launch iTunes on your computer and, if necessary, log out of your account. Select a tab "Account" and go to the point "Go out".

Go to section "Shop". Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on the flag icon in the lower right corner.

The screen will display a list of countries from which we need to select "United States".

You will be redirected to American store, where in the right area of the window you will need to open the section "App Store".

Again, pay attention to the right area of the window where the section is located "Top Free Apps". Among them, you will need to open any application you like.

Click the button "Get" to start downloading the application.

Since you need to log in to your account to download, a corresponding window will appear on the screen. Click the button "Create a new Apple ID".

You will be redirected to the registration page where you will need to click on the button "Continue".

Check the box next to the license agreement and click the button "Agree".

On the registration page, first of all, you will need to provide your email address. In this case, it is better not to use an email account with a Russian domain ( ru), and register a profile with a domain com. The optimal solution is to create an email Google account. In the line below, enter a strong password twice.

IN Apple Store There are many applications, but some of them are available only in a few countries, one of them is the USA. This does not mean that it’s time to pack your suitcase, everything is resolved very simply - you need to register an American Apple ID, in this article I will tell you how to do this.

What is Apple ID and why is it needed?

In short, then Apple ID (Apple ID) is the account used to sign in to iTunes and the Apple Store.

The first time an Apple ID is created is when you turn on your phone or tablet for the first time.

Every Apple ID is tied to the country and depending on it you see a list of programs, applications, movies, etc. in your device's App Store.

Everyone has the opportunity to create several Apple IDs in different countries.

What is needed to register an Apple ID

In my example, I'll show you how to register an account in the US and here's what you need to prepare to get started:

Let us now go through the registration process step by step on our iPhone or iPad.

The standard App Store application must be installed on your device.

We go into the application and scroll to the very bottom of the screen, there you will see your current Apple ID if you have logged in to it before.

Click on it and then on “Exit” or in English. "Sign Out" If you haven't signed in to your account before, you can skip this step.

A dialog box will appear on the screen asking you to create a new account or use an already created one, select “Create a new Apple ID” or in English. "Create New Apple ID."

On the next page, select the country, in our case United States or USA and click “Next” or in English. "Next".

We agree to the license agreement.

Now you need to enter your new e-mail, which you should have previously created, and any password. The password must contain at least 8 characters including 2 letters, lowercase (small) and uppercase (uppercase).

Also on this page you need to maintain a backup e-mail, it will be used to restore your account, select security questions with answers, enter your date of birth, and then click “next”.

If everything was correct, then you will be taken to new page, where you need to fill in the remaining data.

In the payment information field you need to select “No” or in English. "None"

If you don't have this word, then most likely you did not start registering through a free application, go back and start over.

Scroll below and enter our data, they may not be real, but in this case you will not be able to download paid applications, or restore your account if you lose control over it. Therefore, do not lose the password for your main and backup mailbox.

First name, last name, telephone number and the first two lines of the address may be fictitious. City, State, Zip code must be entered in real terms; if you don’t have them, I will leave examples below. Once completed, click “next”.

This was the penultimate step, if you completed it successfully, you will see on the screen a message similar to the one in the screenshot below.

To your email address You will receive a notification with a link to confirm your account. Go to the letter and go to the parcel. You will be taken to the Apple website, where you need to enter an e-mail and password for your new Apple ID.

By logging into your account, you will complete registration, which means you will be able to download new free applications available to US citizens.

Download required applications, you can log out of your account and log in to your old one.

For those who do not understand anything, I advise you to watch the video instructions below.

Examples of American addresses with postcode

If you were unable to find an address in the USA yourself, then use one of the list below.

Hello everyone! We have already become acquainted with the identifier in the apple company system (). And at the end of the article, we came to the conclusion that we need to register an Apple ID to create our own unique account. And if it’s necessary, we’ll do it! Moreover, if you follow these instructions exactly, the whole process will not take you much time, and the effort will generally be minimal.

By the way, the article will discuss registering an Apple ID without any card (credit card). Why without it? In fact, you can come up with a lot of reasons. I won’t go too deep and will list only a few of them.

And here they are:

The simplest one is that not everyone has this same credit card.
Many people are afraid to enter their card details (although it is completely safe).
For some, just demons are enough paid applications in the App Store.

If all these three points are not relevant to you, then at a certain stage (at which stage? all the details are below in the text), you will need to enter the “plastic” data.

In general, you can register an Apple ID at absolutely any time, both when you first turn on the device and after it. The scheme is almost the same everywhere. Here we will consider the second option, namely creating an account on an iPhone or iPad that we have already used for some time.

That is, we need:

Activated iPhone, iPod, iPad - the instructions here are universal, regardless of the gadget.
Wi-Fi connection or inserted SIM card (nothing will work without the Internet).

All is ready? Begin!

Take your device, unlock it and find the App Store icon in the menu, click.

Choose any free game or application - install. Attention! A free application is required.

Then we need a menu item to create an Apple ID.

A window to create a new account will appear. We see the choice of country or region, leaving Russia.

“Terms and conditions...” – we simply accept. It’s hard for me to imagine a person who will read this - it’s 60 pages after all :) Although, perhaps I don’t have a rich enough imagination :)

A data entry window opens.

A few important clarifications:

Be sure to enter a real email.
The password must contain at least 8 characters: numbers, letters of the English alphabet, and at least one capital letter. Write down or remember the password!
Age – you must indicate that you are at least 18 years old. If you have not yet reached adulthood, lie blatantly.

Very important! The specified e-mail and password will be your Apple ID! Save them, write them down on a piece of paper, and never show them to anyone.

Remember, this data is the only proof that the device belongs to you. To understand the seriousness of the situation, I advise you to read (especially pay attention to the last paragraph). Is everything done? Go ahead…

Payment information – select no (if you do not intend to use a credit card). Or (if you want to use the App Store to its full potential) we indicate payment system, then enter all the necessary information. The item “iTunes gift cards...” is optional. Fill in the remaining data.

On Mailbox, indicated above, a letter has been sent - open it, and of course follow the link to complete the process.

Congratulations, Apple ID registration (and completely free) is completed! And now you can use the App Store by installing freely distributed (or paid for) applications and games.

In my opinion, the instructions turned out to be quite detailed, but if you are tormented and haunted by various questions, then I always welcome them in the comments. Feel free to tell us about your problem - I will help, as they say, in any way I can :)

Updated! An article has appeared that summarizes all the errors that may interfere with the creation of an Apple ID. Therefore, if something doesn’t work out, .

P.S. By the way, for full and correct registration of Apple ID you need to click on the buttons social networks and like the article - try it, it really works!
