How To Create a US TikTok Account in 2025: The Complete Guide

A US-based TikTok account unlocks high-earning features, the Creator Rewards Program, TikTok Shop access, and the most lucrative trends. Here’s a clean, step-by-step guide to getting one—safely and permanently—even if you live abroad.

Why You Need a US TikTok Account

• Access to Creator Rewards
• Full monetization tools (TikTok Shop, affiliate programs)
• Algorithmic advantage for English-speaking, high-RPM audiences

Step-by-Step Guide: Create a US TikTok Account

1. 1. On another device, set up a new Apple ID or Google account using a US address (use a fake address generator).
2. 2. Set your phone’s region to “United States” and language to “English (US)”.
3. 3. Install NordVPN or similar, purchase a dedicated US IP. Keep VPN ON at all times.
4. 4. Sign in using your new US account, install TikTok from the US app store.
5. 5. Register your TikTok account with an aged Gmail or new US email. Provide a US-style username and optional address/info if prompted.
6. 6. Open TikTok Studio → Monetization to check if “Creator Rewards” is available. If not, clear cache, reboot, or try another VPN IP.

Troubleshooting: If geo-restrictions pop up, recheck VPN status or try a fresh device and clean account. For tricky cases, repeat steps using a new VPN IP address or an additional fresh phone SIM.

FAQ & Legal Notes

• This is not illegal, but does violate TikTok’s regional preference—it’s widely used safely for monetization.
• Do not use fraudulent documents; all personal data should be consistent with your created account region.
