4. Declare Your Trader Status
   Indicate whether you are a trader according to the European Union's Digital Services Act.
   
   How to decide if you are a trader?

   • If you don’t distribute apps in the EU, you’re not a trader.
   • If you do, find out if you’re a trader here: Am I a Trader?

   
   

5. Verify Contact Information (If Applicable)
   If you have declared that you are a trader under the DSA, you'll need to add and verify your contact information. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete this step.
