Create Apple ID without a credit card

Previously, iTunes had its own separate account, but now, every Apple service is unified under a single Apple ID. The process of creating an Apple ID is almost identical to creating an iTunes account, except for the name change. See step 1 below to learn how to create an Apple ID on your computer or iOS device.

Steps

On a Computer

Open iTunes. You can create an Apple ID directly within the iTunes application. Since Apple no longer uses separate iTunes accounts, users will need to create an Apple ID and sign in across all their personal Apple devices.

Click on the Store menu. Select 'Create Apple ID' from the menu. You will need to read and accept the Terms and Conditions before you can proceed.

Fill out the form. After accepting the terms, you will be redirected to a form where you must enter your account information. You need to provide a valid email address, password, security questions, and your date of birth.

If you don’t want to receive updates from Apple, you can uncheck the boxes at the end of the form.
Note: The email address you provide must be valid, or your account will not be activated.

Enter payment information. You will need to enter valid credit card details if you wish to make purchases on iTunes. Even if you don’t want to link a credit card to your account, you still need to provide a payment method. You can later remove the credit card information or apply the method described at the end of this article.

Verify your account. After completing the form, Apple will send a verification email to the address you provided. This email will contain a 'Verify Now' link that activates your account. It may take a few minutes for the email to arrive.

On the verification page that opens after you click the link, enter the email address and password from the form you filled out. This email address will be your new Apple ID, which you will use each time you sign in.

On iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch

Open the Settings application. This app is typically located on the Home screen. Scroll down and tap on the option labeled 'iTunes & App Stores.'

Ensure that you have logged out. If your device is currently signed into an existing Apple ID, you'll need to log out before you can create a new account. To do so, tap on your Apple ID and select 'Sign Out.'

Tap on 'Create New Apple ID.' The process of creating a new account will begin at this point.

Select your country. Before proceeding, choose the country in which the account will be used. If you travel frequently, it's advisable to select the country where you reside. Make sure to read and accept the Terms and Conditions before continuing.

Fill out the account creation form. Enter a valid email address, password, security questions, and birthdate.

Enter payment information. You need to provide valid credit card details if you wish to make transactions on iTunes. Even if you don't want to link a credit card to your account, you must still provide an available payment method. Afterward, you can remove your credit card details or use the method described at the end of this guide.

Verify your account. Once you've completed the form, Apple will send a verification email to the provided address. This email will contain a 'Verify Now' link to activate your account. It may take a few minutes for the email to be sent.

On the verification page that opens after clicking the link, enter the email address and password you used in the previous form. This email address will be your new Apple ID, which you will use to log in in the future.

Create Apple ID without a credit card

Open the App Store on your computer or iOS device. You need to download and install any free app first in order to create an account without using credit card information.

Find a free app. You can choose any free app. Try to find something useful that you'll need to download eventually. If you're unsure, just pick any app, download it, and then delete it once you're done.

Install the app. Tap on the 'Free' button at the top of the app store page, and you will be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID.

Tap or click on 'Create Apple ID.' When prompted to sign in, choose to create a new account. The account creation process will begin.

Fill out the form. You must first agree to the Terms and Conditions before the account creation form appears. Refer to the previous methods for guidance on how to complete this form.

Select 'None' for payment option. Under the Payment Method section, you will have the option to choose 'None.' This is the only way to create an Apple ID without providing credit card information from the start.

On an iPhone or iPod Touch, you may need to scroll down to find this option.

Complete the account creation process. Once you have filled out the form, a confirmation email will be sent to the address you provided. Follow the link in the email to complete the process.
