There are other ways to call the required window, for example, by clicking on the "Buy" or "Free" button in any application in the AppStore, if the application is free, as well as the "Login" button at the top of the store.

Immediately after this, you will see the start page of registration. By clicking on the "Continue" button, you are taken to the page where the text of the license agreement with Apple is presented. Agreeing with him, putting a tick, go to the next page. Here you have to enter the personal information required for registration:

Filling in all the fields, we proceed to the next page. On it you need to enter payment information - bank card details and your mailing address.

Here you can enter the number of the gift certificate, if you have one. To avoid hacking the account (although Apple is notable for its reliability and security), it is recommended to register a virtual card with a small amount of money on it. After that on your card the sum equal to 1 ruble will be blocked, in a month it will return to you on a card - registration is free.

Under the credit card information enter your address and click the "Create Apple ID" button at the bottom of the form.
