Customer validation, with a photo ID and a selfie, comes straight after; see [Complete customer validation (KYC)](/myaccount/account/how-to/complete-customer-validation/). Indian and international customers use the same sign-up form. The country you pick for your mobile number decides which you are until you set a billing address, so pick your own country's code. If you are signing up in India, see [Sign up as an Indian customer](/myaccount/account/how-to/sign-up-as-an-indian-customer/). ## Before you begin You need: - An email address not yet registered with E2E, where you receive a code. - A mobile number that can receive text messages, from a country E2E serves. One mobile number can be used on up to four accounts. - Your billing address, and your VAT or tax ID if you have one. - For customer validation afterwards: a passport, driving licence, or national ID card, and a phone or computer with a camera for a selfie. Sign-up asks for no payment, and you do not need a card to create your first resource. ## Check that your country is listed The mobile number's country list and the billing country list hold the same countries: the ones E2E serves. India, the US, and the UK are listed first, and you can search the list. The list is kept by E2E and can change. If your country is not in the list, you cannot sign up with a number or a billing address from it. ## Choose how to sign up You can sign up with the form, or with your Google or GitHub account: - The form sets a MyAccount password, and checks a code sent to your email and one sent to your mobile number. - **Google** or **GitHub** uses that account to sign in, and checks only the code sent to your mobile number. No password is set; you can set one later with **Forgot password?** on the sign-in page. ## Sign up with the form 1. Open `https://myaccount.e2enetworks.com/accounts/signup`. The page is headed **Welcome to E2E Networks**. 2. In **Name**, enter your full name: 4 to 100 letters, spaces, and hyphens. The last word becomes your last name. 3. Pick your country for the mobile number, then enter the number. The list starts on +91, which is India. 4. In **Email**, enter your email address. 5. In **Password**, enter a password of 16 to 30 characters with a number, an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and a special character. To have one made for you, click **Use Suggested Password**, which fills in a 19-character password. Save it in your password manager before you go on. 6. Three boxes are ticked for you. The box for the terms and privacy policy and **I accept the Required Consents (Essential for account creation)** are both required. To stop marketing emails, untick **I agree to receive Marketing Communications (Optional)**. 7. Click **Create Account**. It is available once every field is valid and both required boxes are ticked. The **Verification** screen opens. A field that needs fixing says so under it, for example **Minimum 4 characters are required.** under **Name**, or **Enter valid number** under the mobile number. ## Sign up with Google or GitHub 1. Open `https://myaccount.e2enetworks.com/accounts/signup` and click **Google** or **GitHub** above the form. 2. Sign in to your Google or GitHub account when it asks. 3. A short form opens. Fill in **Name** and **E-mail**, and enter your mobile number with its country. 4. Make sure that the terms and consent boxes are ticked, and click **Sign up**. A code is sent to your mobile number. To sign in later, use the same **Google** or **GitHub** button on the sign-in page. See [Sign in and trust a device](/myaccount/account/how-to/sign-in-and-trust-a-device/). ## Verify your codes The **Verification** screen shows **Email code sent on** your email address and **SMS code sent on** your mobile number, each with six boxes. With Google or GitHub, only the text message code is asked. 1. Enter the six-digit code from the email. The email code expires after 3 minutes. 2. Enter the six-digit code from the text message. Text messages reach international numbers too. 3. Click **Verify**. MyAccount shows **Your mobile number and email address have been successfully verified!**, creates your account, and opens your dashboard. If a code does not arrive: - Check your spam folder for the email code. - **Resend Code** becomes available 60 seconds after a code is sent, for each code. - To fix a typing mistake in your email or number, click **Change email** or **Change phone number**. The form opens again. After several requests, MyAccount stops sending new codes to that email address or mobile number for 30 minutes. Wait, then ask for a new code. A wrong code asks you to try again. After too many wrong tries, that code stops working and you ask for a new one. An expired code also needs a new one; click **Resend Code**. Your account now has two-factor authentication turned on, with codes sent to your mobile number by text message, and 10 backup codes. See [Set up two-factor authentication](/myaccount/account/how-to/set-up-two-factor-authentication/). The email you receive at sign-up is not the welcome email. The welcome email, with E2E's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy attached, arrives when your customer validation is approved. ## If sign-up is refused These messages appear after you click **Create Account** or **Sign up**: - **A user is already registered with this e-mail address.** The email already has a MyAccount login. Sign in with it, or reset its password with [Reset your password](/myaccount/account/how-to/reset-your-password/). - The mobile number is already on four accounts: use another number, or write to sales@e2enetworks.com. - The number belongs to a suspended account: write to sales@e2enetworks.com. ## Open Complete Your Account Setup Your new dashboard asks you to complete your profile setup for full access to E2E's cloud services, with **Complete Setup** beside it. Click **Complete Setup**. **Complete Your Account Setup** opens, with two steps: **Billing Information** and then **Account Setup**. The same window opens when you click a create or pay button, such as **Launch** on a node, before setup is finished. ## Answer the country question Before **Billing Information**, a **Compliance** window asks a question that you answer once, yourself; nothing is read from your mobile number or address: **Is your company or its parent company registered in a country or region restricted by U.S. export laws?** Choose the answer that matches where your company is registered: - If your company is not registered in a restricted country or region, choose **No, not registered in a restricted country or region** and click **Confirm**. **Billing Information** opens. - If it is, choose **Yes**. This needs an export licence letter and a review by E2E before you can use the account. See [Answer the restricted-country question](/myaccount/account/how-to/answer-the-country-question/). ## Fill in Billing Information In **Billing Information**, you give the details that E2E, as a CERT-In compliant organisation, must collect. International customers give their own VAT or tax ID, if they have one, in place of GSTIN and PAN, the Indian tax numbers. 1. In **Select Your Country**, choose your country. India is not in the list for an international customer. 2. Choose the **Organisation** or **Individual** tab. Choose **Organisation** for a company or any business. Choose **Individual** when you are signing up for yourself. 3. Fill in **Organization Name**. If you have a VAT or tax number, enter it in **VAT/TAX ID**, up to 18 characters. 4. In **Billing Address**, enter your address, in 5 to 200 characters. Then fill in **City**, **State/Province**, and **Postal Code**. 5. In **Nature of Business**, describe what you will use E2E for, in 10 to 400 characters. 6. Fill in **Work Load** and **Official Email**. For an organisation, also choose **Organization Type**. 7. Agree to the Terms of Service. 8. Click **Next**. The **Account Setup** step opens. If a detail does not pass the checks, **Next** shows **Invalid billing details provided. Please check and try again.** Check the details and try again. Check the country before you click **Next**. The billing country stays the same for the life of the account. You can change other billing details later on **Billing Details**; see [Update your billing details](/myaccount/billing/how-to/update-your-billing-details/). ## Finish setup with customer validation **Account Setup** is the last step. Under **Identity Verification**, click **Initiate**, then photograph your passport, driving licence, or national ID card and take a matching selfie in Stripe's window. If you have an Aadhaar, you can validate with it instead, from a link on the same step that opens the Indian identity check. Both ways are on [Complete customer validation (KYC)](/myaccount/account/how-to/complete-customer-validation/). Once customer validation is approved, you have full access to E2E's products and services. ## What you have now Your account exists, and it has one project, named `default-project-` followed by a number. Until customer validation is approved, you can look around MyAccount, but anything that creates or changes a resource is refused. Next, [complete customer validation](/myaccount/account/how-to/complete-customer-validation/). If your country was not on the sign-up list, see [My country is not in the country list. Can I still sign up?](/myaccount/account/faq/#my-country-is-not-in-the-country-list-can-i-still-sign-up).
