Setup Google Play

Step 1. Create Your Google Play Developer Account

"Developer name" should be your business name. 

"Email address" should be your business email.

To process your request for a Play Developer account you may be asked for a valid government ID and a credit card, both under your legal name. If this information is determined to be invalid, your registration fee will not be refunded.

Step 2. Verify Identity

 After registering for the Google Play Account, you may be asked to Verify your ID with Google in order to publish apps to the Play Store. 

1. Go to the All applications page. 

2. 2. There will be a banner at the top saying you need to verify identity. 

3. You will need to upload a person’s ID (Driver's license, Passport, etc.) from the Google Play Console- that person can be anybody working at your institution

After you create your account, you can track the status of your identity verification from the All applications page. When the verification process is complete, an email is sent to the account owner.
