Unable to create developer account

Hi,

I've been trying to create a DocuSign developer account, but no matter which email I use, the registration process doesn't complete. I even tested the process with an existing email, expecting an error message indicating that the account already exists, but instead, the "Get Started" button stays in a submit state and nothing happens—no error message or confirmation.

At this point, I'm unsure if the registration form is working correctly. I have attempted the process with five different emails and have also tried the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Clearing cookies and cache
  • Using a private/incognito window
  • Trying a VPN
  • Using a mobile device on a different network

Despite these efforts, the issue persists. Could someone please assist me in resolving this?

Thank you.

Hi All, I am facing the same issue and unable to create developer account

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to create a DocuSign Developer Account since yesterday but keep running into issues. I’ve tried different devices, IP addresses, browsers, even incognito mode—but still no luck creating the developer account.

As a workaround, I purchased the Developer API Starter plan from within a regular DocuSign account (not the free version). However, as far as I can tell, I still need access to a proper developer account to actually use the API and begin integration. Right now, I’m completely blocked and unable to make any progress.

I urgently need to integrate DocuSign into our website, and I’m stuck until this issue is resolved. I also submitted a support ticket yesterday but haven’t received a response yet.

Is there any way to expedite this process or get support to resolve the developer account issue?

Thanks in advance!

@Ankur.Kumar 

We try to create a new demo account for my new colleague and also failed. We opened a case with Support team and provided the HAR file during submit the creation.

the reply from support team last night:

I hope you  are doing well I am still waiting for a resolution on this matter.

But it has not been confirmed. Please try to create account with different email address and then change it if it needs to be used urgently.

 

I think he not done it before, he needs to view this thread. If we can success by change to another email, there won't be so many member asking questions here.

Hi All,  I’ve received the developer account, but I don’t have the “API Access” and “Manage Apps” permissions. Could you please guide me on how to get these enabled?

Hi ​@Ankur.Kumar,

That looks like a Docusign Viewer Permission Profile with limited permission. To update your Permission Profile, you need to get in touch with the person in charge, your Account or Organization Administrator.

 

Question: Can you tell us more about what you are trying to achieve?
