- Enter your account information, and then choose Continue.
You receive an email to confirm that your account is created. You can sign in to your new account using the email address and password you registered with. However, you can’t use AWS services until you finish activating your account.

On the Payment Information page, enter the information about your payment method, and then choose Verify and Add.
Wait for account activation
After you choose a Support plan, a confirmation page indicates that your account is being activated. Accounts are usually activated within a few minutes, but the process might take up to 24 hours.
You can sign in to your AWS account during this time. The AWS home page might display a Complete Sign Up button during this time, even if you’ve completed all the steps in the sign-up process.
When your account is fully activated, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Check your email and spam folder for the confirmation email. After you receive this email, you have full access to all AWS services.
Now you are all set up to Create Magic with AWS.
