How we work
- Tell us your situation: personal or organization, app category and launch date.
- Pick the account type: if you have a company, an organization account avoids the 12-tester requirement.
- Prepare verification: ID or company documents, payment profile and contact details that match.
- Register and verify: pay the US$25 fee, complete identity, contact and Android device verification.
- Closed testing (personal accounts): plan 12+ real testers for 14 consecutive days, then apply for production access.
- Launch: store listing, policy declarations and release.
How long it takes
Registration and payment take minutes; identity verification usually takes a few days. New personal accounts add at least 14 days of closed testing plus Google's review of the production access request — plan for two to three weeks or more. See 12 testers for 14 days explained.
Can I just buy an account?
Since May 27, 2026, Google requires every change of account ownership to go through the official transfer feature in Play Console, with a 7-day security hold and identity verification for the new owner. Buying, leasing or selling accounts on third-party marketplaces is prohibited. Read is it safe to buy a Google Play developer account.
FAQ
Is there an annual fee for Google Play?
No. Google Play charges a one-time US$25 registration fee, with no yearly renewal.
Why can't my personal account publish to production?
Personal accounts created after November 13, 2023 must first run a closed test with at least 12 opted-in testers for 14 consecutive days, then apply for production access.
Does an organization account need a D-U-N-S number?
Yes. Organization accounts are verified with your company details and D-U-N-S number.
