Part 1Creating Your Account

2 Enter in your information. On the Facebook homepage, enter in your first name, last name, email address, password, birthday, and gender. You must use your real name for your account. Nicknames are allowed as long as they are a variation on your real name (Jim instead of James, for example).
3 Click the "Sign Up" button. If all of your information is correct, you will be sent a verification email to the address you provided.
