Need an Apple ID but not sure where to start? There are a few different paths depending on your situation. This guide covers creating one yourself and where to get one if self-registration isn't an option.
Option 1: Create One for Free on Apple's Website
Go to appleid.apple.com and click "Create Your Apple ID." Fill in your name, email address, and password. Choose your country/region. Apple will send a verification code to your email, enter it, and you're done.
This works for any region as long as you have a valid email address. You don't need an Apple device to create an Apple ID.
Option 2: Create One During Device Setup
When you set up a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac for the first time, the setup wizard gives you an option to create an Apple ID. Follow the prompts, enter your details, and the account will be created automatically.
This method ties the Apple ID to your device right away, which is convenient if you plan to use it as your main account.
Option 3: Create a Region-Specific Apple ID
If you need an Apple ID from a specific country (like the US, Japan, or Korea) to access region-locked apps, the process is a little different:
- Sign out of your current Apple ID in the App Store
- Go to appleid.apple.com and create a new account
- Select the target country as your region
- For payment, choose "None" if available
- Use a valid address from that country (you can find format examples online)
The "None" payment option only appears in some regions. If it doesn't show up, you may need a gift card from that region to complete registration.
Option 4: Buy a Pre-Made Apple ID
For people who can't create a foreign Apple ID due to payment restrictions, or who need multiple accounts quickly, buying one from a trusted source is the fastest route.
ReSub (resub.xyz) offers Apple IDs from various regions with warranty periods. You can compare suppliers and read reviews before purchasing.
Tips After Getting Your Apple ID
Turn on two-factor authentication immediately. This prevents anyone else from accessing your account.
If you bought the account, change the password and security questions right away. Add your own email and phone number as recovery options.
Don't mix purchased Apple IDs with your personal iCloud data. Keep them separate for App Store use only.
