Developer accounts
Your apps are published under your own name, so the store accounts are yours. Open them early: checks by Google and Apple can take from a day to a few weeks.
- An email address for each store that you'll keep using
- A payment card for the fees, paid directly to Google and Apple
- For a company: its legal name, address, website and a D-U-N-S number

Get a D-U-N-S number (companies)
A D-U-N-S number is a free 9-digit ID for companies, issued by Dun & Bradstreet. Apple requires one for organisation accounts, and Google asks for it too. Look up your company on Apple's D-U-N-S lookup page, and request a number there if it has none. It can take a few days to arrive.

Open a Google Play developer account
Sign up in Google Play Console with a Google account, choose a personal or organisation account, pay the one-time registration fee and verify your identity. New personal accounts must run a closed test with testers before publishing to production (see Publish on Google Play).
