   The Google Play Console is the interface where you will manage your Google apps. There is a one-time registration fee of $25. It can take up to 5 days for Google to process your registration.
3. For your Google Play Console account, enter your organization’s name as the Public developer name.
   The Public developer name is displayed in the Google Play Store.

   The Public developer name refers to the entity that is legally responsible for the app, in your case, this is your organization. Don’t use the name of one of your employees or ‘Staffbase’ as this causes problems in the store review of your app.

4. Enter the Contact email address.
   The contact email can be one of the following:
   • An email address from your organization
   • A Gmail address from your organization’s Google account
     You have registered for a Google Play Console account.
5. Verify the account owner's identity for the Google Play Console account you created.
   This is required to publish your app on Google Play.
   The proof of identity documents may vary depending on your region. The process will take up to 2 business days. Learn more.
   
   You have registered and verified your Google Play Console account successfully.
