Registering a Google Play developer account is a key step in launching an app, but the complex process and the risk of account suspension often trouble developers. This article explains the entire process of personal and corporate account registration, and provides a practical guide to prevent suspension, to help you efficiently complete account deployment and avoid common audit traps.

1. Preparation materials before registration

1. Basic information

(1) Google Account:

A newly registered Gmail account (avoid associating with a historical account). It is recommended to use a corporate email or a new personal email.

(2) Payment Instruments:

A dual-currency credit card ( Visa/MasterCard ) that supports foreign currencies. The card number has not been bound to any other Google developer account, and the billing address must be consistent with the registration information.

(3) Identity / Company Information:

Personal account: real name, front and back of ID card (must be the same as the credit card holder).

Corporate account: business license, Dun & Bradstreet number ( DUNS ), company address and contact number.

Network and environment isolation

(4) Dedicated IP Proxy:

It is recommended to use a residential IP to ensure that the IP is pure and has no association with historical operations.

(5) Device Isolation:

It is recommended to use a mobile phone or computer that has not been registered with Google services, set the device language to English, and clear the browser cache or use incognito mode.

2. Aids and Information

(1) Alternative phone number:

It is recommended to use an overseas physical SIM card (such as a Hong Kong number) to avoid failure in receiving verification codes with a domestic virtual number.

(2) Alternative Email:

It is recommended to use international email accounts such as Outlook or ProtonMail , and avoid using domestic email accounts such as QQ/163 that are easily linked.

3. Anti-blocking guide: Avoid 4 high-risk behaviors

1. Environmental related risks

IP and device isolation: Bind an independent static residential IP of IPFoxy to the account and use an independent fingerprint environment with a fingerprint browser to avoid sharing the network or browser.

Operation record management: Frequent switching and logging in across time zones are prohibited, and fixed operation time periods are recommended.

2. Duplicate data and false information

“ Three-in-one ” principle: the company name, credit card, and ID card must belong to the same entity.

Prohibition on account purchase: Second-hand accounts may carry historical violation records.

3. Application Compliance Management

Content review: Avoid copyright infringement, malicious code, or illegal advertising (such as click-bait).

Testing period strategy: After registering a new account, it is recommended to " maintain the account " for 2-3 weeks before submitting the application, and remain active during this period (such as logging in, browsing policy documents).

4. Payment and Account Behavior Guidelines

Credit card uniqueness: One card is only bound to one developer account.

Avoid abnormal operations: such as modifying a large number of account information in a short period of time or frequently changing bound devices.

Following the above registration specifications and risk control strategies can significantly reduce the risk of account abnormalities. It is recommended to continue to pay attention to Google policy updates to ensure long-term compliance operations. Deploy now and start your app distribution journey!
