# Create Your Telnyx Account

> Step-by-step guide to create and set up your Telnyx account for accessing APIs and services.

Before you can start using any Telnyx services, you'll need to create an account to access our APIs and Mission Control Portal.

## Account creation steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the signup page">
    Navigate to [telnyx.com/sign-up](https://telnyx.com/sign-up) to start the signup process.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the signup form">
    Enter your contact information, company details, and a secure password. This ensures Telnyx can verify who you are.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your email">
    Look for the confirmation email and click the verification link so we know you're the owner of the address you used.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in to Mission Control">
    Access the [Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com) with your new credentials to finish onboarding and explore your dashboard.
