The Gmail.com registration guide is so easy that it only takes a few minutes to open a new account. Gmail is secure and offers a lot of storage space for users. With a bevy of features, Gmail is one of the most popular e-mail services with millions of loyal subscribers.

To complete your Gmail.com registration, you will need:

  • PC or laptop

  • Good internet connection

  1. Go to the Gmail.com registration webpage. Power up your computer or laptop. Wait for your computer to finish booting. When your system is ready, click on the browser of your choice. Type in “https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount” in your web browser.

  2. Begin your Gmail.com registration. When the webpage opens, start by choosing your email address. If the email address you want matches or is a near match to an existing email address, you will be given other recommendations which you may select from. If nothing catches your fancy, you can type in a new email address and have the Gmail.com registration system check it once again for any possible matches.

  3. Choose a strong password. A strong password is essential to keep your Gmail account safe and secure. Select a password that is at least eight characters in length. The Gmail.com registration system will also test your password's strength. If you type in a “weak” password, you cannot proceed with the registration.

  4. Fill up the rest of the blank fields. Select your location from the drop-down list. Type in your birthdate. Fill up the word verification field by typing in the characters you see in the picture. Don't forget to accept Gmail's terms of service. Click on “create my account”.

  5. Verify your account. Select your country once more from the drop-down list. Type in your phone number. The Gmail.com registration system will verify your account by sending you a verification code. You can choose to receive a voice call or a text message. Click on “send verification code” and enter the verification code you have received. After entering the correct code, can begin using you Gmail account.
