If you want to make a Skype account and you are looking for someone to guide you through the process, then you are in the right place :). I will tell you step by step what you need to do in order to create a new Skype user. Before we begin, I just want to mention that in the steps bellow we have skipped the optional stuff like date of birth, gender and so on, but if you want you can fill them too.
In order to register a Skype account follow these steps:
- Visit the page for creating a new Skype account.
- Fill in your First name and Last name. Fill in your email address twice.
- After that choose your Country and then your Language.
- Now fill in your Skype Name. It must be unique (not to be used by any other person in the World) and it can contain only letters and numbers. The first character has to be a letter and the length must be between 6 and 32 characters.
- After that, you have to come up with a password, that is at least 6 characters long and contains both letters and numbers. You need to fill it twice in both fields just in case. Remember it, or write it down.
- In the last group of fields you can remove the checkbox By Email so you do not receive news related to Skype in your email. Now looking at the image, fill in the characters in the box named Type the text above here. If you do not see them clearly you can get new ones by clicking the Refresh button to the right.
- Click the button I Agree – Continue. If everything went fine you should be redirected to the address https://secure.skype.com/account/, and if there is a problem with some of the fields they will be marked with red, and you have to fill them one more time.
- Now you can login with your new Skype name and password. If you still haven’t downloaded the program, you can visit our category Download Skype and choose a version.
If you notice that the described process in this article is partially wrong or from Skype has made some changes to it, please let us know in the comments. Thanks :).

dear sir i am Ranjit from yemen
sir i try many time open new skype account but happen . Please help.
Hi Ranjit. What exactly is the problem? Is there a message of some sort of error?
Hi,
I cannot create my new user account. The new user page comes up in “raw” HTML, and once I enter all my details and click ACCEPT, it just resets, and does nothing.
Does anyone else have this problem? I have tried with IE 8, IE 9 and Chrome 9.
Please help!
Thanks!!
James
Hi, James. It loads fine with me :). I tried Firefox and Chrome. This could have been a temporary issue or maybe your internet was slow at the moment. Try reloading the page or try after some time. You can clear the cache of the browsers too. Hope it helps.

@zain
Hi. What seems to be problem exactly?
Keep in mind that if any field in the registration form is not filled properly it will have a red border when you submit the form. So you can see where is the mistake.

how do u fix that ? Please Help!
@kate jackson
Hi Kate. I guess Skype has a minimum age requirement. You can just leave this field blank. It is not required to tell your birth date.
Regards.

@andrei
Hi man. We are neighbors, I am from Bulgaria :).
But your english is bad. I can barely understand you. You are having problems with the anti bot protection I assume. Try deleting the cache of the browser or something. It should work, I do not know why it does not with you. Also be very careful to write the same letters, they are pretty tricky. Use ctrl and + on the keyboard to see better. Hope that helps.
the site which is given does not work.it says the site “might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”
Hi Kamal. It works here. Could have been a temporary downtime. Try again now. If still does not work please try with another browser.
Regards.

@vijay

Otherwise you can make a new account with new email.
Regards.
i love skype skype is the best
i made an id, i like skype
every skype name that i put in something is wrong because it wouldnt ACCEPT
@alyiah
Hi. All of them could already be taken from other users. You may need to add something like numbers or _ to your name to make it unique.
Another cause could be if are including a character that is not allowed. I have described the characters that are allowed also they are on the Skype page as well.
Regards :).
dear sir /madam iam having skype but problem is not showing online friend what,s problem …………….

@lancy.ivan.pinto
Hi. Not much we can do about that. It could be bad internet connection but it could be a bug in Skype as well. Only thing I can recommend is for everyone to always use the most recent version of Skype and hope for these kinds of bugs to be fixed.

@sam
Hi. Try reloading the page with F5 on the keyboard. Or open a different browser (for example Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer).
I filled in the form-I’ve tried 5 times now and then opened Skype and tried to log in with my username and password but it says that they’re not recognised can u help me plz?
@Izzy
Hi. Is there some kind of message or does some of the field names turn red? Try with a different browser.
Also there could be a temporary problem with this page since I noticed that other people are having this problem. I am sure that if this is the case the Skype team will fix it as soon as possible.

Sir, an option called phone number is given and it asks the country code, even when I give it, it shows error. Plz tell me if it is the mobile no or landline.
So can u plz help me in doing so to create account in Skype.
@merci
Hi. The way I see it, it says Mobile phone number and there is a drop down menu to choose the country, and therefor the code, and them you must fill the rest without the country code. Is it different at your end?

Hi. I have described this in the step 4 in the article. You must use English letters and numbers and at least 6 characters total. For example “333xxx” will work. But I would suggest a more complex one.

Dear sir, I want to make the skype id but when I type the password – it did not accept it. It says, your password is too short. So i can’t make skype id. Please, do you have any clue how to solve this problem?
@santosh
Hi. I edited your comment, since it was in very bad English. As I have said in the article, the password must be at least 6 characters. I guess you are using a shorter one.
Regards.
Hello sir. I’m also creating a new skype account. I enter my full information but it doesn’t work i had used Uc browser too.
@Bishal

@Gakul prasad
Hi. The page loads fine for me. It could be a temporary issue or your internet. Is your internet slow? Try doing it when there is less load on it, like early in the morning. Or even try on another computer.

Hello sir, I am Rahat from Bangladesh. Can I operate skype account from my phone. My phone is Nokia.
Model-5610d-1 (xpressmusic)
version- java2me
@Rahat
Hi. Visit m.skype.com with the phone to find out. If it lets you install Skype then you can :).
But it doesn’t do that. But when I decided to create an account, the repeat email option was hidden. But i could see the login bar. After creating a account by computer, can I operate skype?
@Rahat
Make an account from the computer. You will be able to use it from anywhere as long as the device supports Skype. What does it say on m.skype.com when you open it with the phone?
I have a problem with the skype during create account. There is message which says: sorry, some thing went wrong, pls try again,
so, I tried but no result. I used hotmail account.
Pls assist soon.
Regards
Djama
@djama
Hi.
Unfortunately I cannot do much about these issues with the Skype website. The only things I can say is to try with another browser or if you are doing it from a phone to do it from a PC. If you have more problems about the Skype website you can contact them on the email contactus [at] skype [dot] net
When l want to create my account it says use latin character. Please give an example of name wanted.
@lucky
Hi. Latin characters are the ones in the English alphabet. Only they plus numbers can be used in the Skype name field. The first one must be a character (not number).
Example of working Skype name: abcxyz63856
Regards.
Hi, I created a Skype account but it does not show me my full name… Reason?
@Mueed Mirza
Hi. Maybe try adding it one more time. It can be added on this address after you sign in: https://secure.skype.com/portal/profile
Also I am not sure but I think there is a bug. Try writing the whole name in the First name field.
Hi admin.
I have problem on Skype creating. The text in the box is not visible nor I can hear it.
#amina
Hi. I understand, but unfortunately I can’t really help with that one, since this is an issue with the skype.com website. Maybe try with another browser or reload the page.
Regards.

@malikirfan
Hi :)
I keep on trying to create a new account on skype but it keeps going back to my email address as if I haven’t filled it in. Can you help?
@Gail
Hi. Did you fill both fields? Is it spelled right? Also try using another browser.
Hi…
I am trying to create an account in skype. But there is a problem. I can’t create an account. When I click on accept, it showing that email Id & password do not match. What to do? Please help me.
@Harsha Kondye
Hi. Are you following the complexity requirements for a password and the character requirements for a username?
Even if you are, try using even more complex password, I read that there might be hidden requirements and forbidden words. So make it really random. Also if you are using a mobile device to register, please use a desktop computer, because there are more bugs otherwise.
Hi, can you help me because I can’t write my skype ID as we write any yahoo mail eg. abc@yahoo.com. How skype ID can be written?
Regards.
@Babar
Hi. The Skype ID (or Skype name) is not like the email. It does not have @, it is more like an username.
I want create new account id
@Palanivel
Hi. Then do it. It is not a problem to have more than one.
Hi.
I’ve tried to create a new Skype account but each time I type in my email and password, both re-enter email and re-enter password box are usually in active. Pls help.
@Gold
Hi. Hmm… Try another browser.
Sir, how can I write the email id in skype? Whenever I complete the form, it again comes and it makes me write it again. It shows no fault.
Dear Sir,
I lives in Indonesia, now. I would like to create a skype account for my friend from Myanmar. I fill in the Skype form about her First name, Last name and email address, Birthday, etc. Finally, I click (I agree button). But I can’t sing in. Why? Please help me.
With sincerely,
La Pyie Wum
@Pratik
Hi. When I try to register with the email you have used to comment here, it says to me that it is already used, so you already have an account with it.
I don’t know if their site is working good with you but if you notice that it is not working as it should you can contact them at the email: contactus {at} skype {dot} net
@La Pyie Wum
Hi. The site should give you an error why it does not let you. For example if the birth date indicates a very low age that is not allowed.
It could be also that the site is not working properly. In that case you can contact the Skype people. See my previous comment for the email.
Regards.
