How to Create an Apple Account for a Supported App Store Region?

If a recommended app is not available in your current App Store region, you can create a new Apple Account for a region where the app is available.

  • Before you start:
    • Choose a supported App Store region where the app is available;
    • Prepare an email address that is not already linked to another Apple Account;
    • Keep access to your email address and phone number so you can complete verification.
  • Start creating a new Apple Account:
    • Recommended: create the account on the Apple Account website, then select the supported country or region and follow the current onscreen requirements;
    • On iPhone or iPad, you may also open the App Store, tap the account button, and choose Create New Apple Account if that option is available. If it is not shown, use the Apple Account website instead of signing out of iCloud solely to reveal the option;
    • On Mac, use the Apple Account website or follow the current account-creation prompts. Do not sign out of iCloud solely to create a separate App Store account.
  • Complete account verification:
    • Enter your email address, password, and the required account information;
    • Complete the email and phone number verification steps;
    • Add a payment method if the selected App Store region requires one.
  • Switch the App Store account:
    • On iPhone or iPad, open Settings > Apple Account > Media & Purchases, tap Sign Out, then sign in with the new Apple Account;
    • On Mac, open the App Store, choose Store > Sign Out from the menu bar, then choose Store > Sign In and sign in with the new Apple Account;
    • Do not sign out of iCloud or other Apple services;
    • Open the App Store and search for the app again.
  • Once you can find the app, return to the relevant download guide:
