Part 1. Steps for Cross-Region Apple ID Registration

Things You Need:

• A working phone number.
• An email address not previously registered with an Apple ID, preferably an iCloud or Gmail address.
• An address from the corresponding region, which can be found online.

Registration Steps:

Step 1:

• Go to the Apple ID registration page: https://account.apple.com/account
• Select the country or region you want to register in.
• Set your age to over eighteen.
• Enter an email address that has not been used for an Apple ID before.
• Choose a password that does not include your name, birthdate, or email content.
• Provide your phone number; it's okay if this number has been used for an Apple ID in your current region.
• Opt for SMS as the verification method.

Step 2:

• Choose email verification + phone verification, enter the corresponding codes, and select "Next" to complete the registration. Note that this is not the end; you still need to log in and complete further steps.

Step 3:

• Open the App Store, log out of your current Apple ID, and log in with the newly registered account.
• Upon login, select any app to download. You'll see a prompt: "This Apple ID has not been used in the iTunes Store." Click "Review" to complete the information.
• Important: Do not enter payment method and billing address information.
• Fill in only the name and street address.
• The first three digits of the phone number are the area code, and the remaining seven are the phone number.
• After filling in all the information, click "Next."
• Registration is complete, and you can now download apps.

We recommend purchasing gift cards from the Apple website for the corresponding region, or if you have a local credit card or bank card, you can bind it directly. Avoid using third-party channels, as they may pose risks.

Part 3. What to Do If Cross-Region Games and Apps Won't Open?
