# Account creation

Create a vLex account to start your legal research journey.

To create an account, go to vLex and select **Sign up**. Input your information in the form, and tell us what jurisdiction you are primarily interested in (you can add more later).

![Signing up](https://1556743161-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MS8Dq_iqEIflAmbaOkI%2F-Mck4nVCl7EVBOoMXM6A%2F-Mck7JjrQu8Rkg1ePv0-%2FSign%20up.gif?alt=media\&token=e355c16f-340a-4015-b0f4-3fd17ff1b20e)

Another way you can get to this form is by opening the login screen and clicking **No account? Register.**

A third and final option for opening an account with vLex is to use your social media. Go to the vLex login screen and click on the **Google**, **Facebook** or **Twitter** icons. You will be taken to the site you have chosen and asked to authorise access.

When you open a new account, you will get three days of trial access and then, if you have not chosen a subscription, your account will migrate to vLex Open, which will only give you access to certain features. Read more about this in [Subscriptions](/support-1/account-management/your-subscriptions.md).

If you access an account through an organisation, talk to your administrator or librarian. They can create an account for you and you will receive an email with your login details.
