How to Create Free Apple ID (Without a Credit Card)

Apple ID is a username that is used for everything related to Apple. It’s not only used to download/purchase application at App Store or music on the iTunes Store. These are some lists of Apple ID functions:

• To purchase Music, Movies, TV Shows at iTunes Store
• Rent Movies, Tv Shows at iTunes Store
• To purchase application at App Store and Mac App Store
• To purchase e-book at iBookstore
• Subscribe Magazine at Newsstand
• iCloud account and all its features
• Game Center account where you can meet your friend and share
• To do reservation at Apple Store and Genius Bar
• Shopping at Apple Store Online
• Access to Apple support website, etc.

In other words, Apple ID is required account for Apple User (iOS, OS X and  TV). Some users were asking, “How to create Apple ID?”. I saw that Apple has made a very easy procedure for it. There are some ways and media to create Apple ID through iTunes, Apple website, or iOS devices.

I’m not going to talk about how to create Apple ID because I think everybody can do that. For example, on iTunes application that you can access via the menu bar: Store >> Create Apple ID.

By following the steps, you will be directed to the Provide payment Method screen that require you to register your Credit Card.

Well, this is the part not everyone can successfully finish. There’re many reasons why some people refuse to register a credit card on the certain account, including Apple ID. They prefer to use iTunes Gift Card as a money deposit. Some other people do not have a credit card, but there are some other reasons as well.

The question that can appear next is: “Can we create Free Apple ID without the credit card?.” Well, I’m gonna say: “Yes, we can.”
