How to sign up for a Facebook account

Facebook Desktop Help

Facebook Sign Up: Signing up for a Facebook account is as easy as saying “FB“. It is free to join Facebook, a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. See below for how to signup for a Facebook account.

If you don’t already have a Facebook account, you can sign up for one in a few steps:

1. Go to www.facebook.com.
2. If you see the signup form, fill out your name, email address or phone number, password, birthday and gender. If you don’t see the form, click Sign Up, then fill out the form.
3. Click Sign Up and verify your account.

Once you sign up, you’ll need to confirm your email address or phone number. Facebook will send you either an email or a text message to help you confirm your account.

Get help if you didn’t receive a mobile confirmation code, or if you didn’t receive your confirmation email as expected.

Common Facebook Signup Issues

“HELP: I didn’t receive Facebook signup confirmation email”

If you signed up for Facebook with your email address, Facebook would normally send an email to the address you provided during sign up. The email includes a link that you’ll need to click or tap to confirm your account and let the Facebook team know that you’re really who you say you are.

If you can’t find this email, try checking your junk mail folder, or if you’re using Gmail, check your Social emails. If you still can’t find this email, contact Facebook directly to let them know.
