    1. Log in with company single sign-on
    2. Log in with Red Hat account
  3. From the menu bar on the header, click your avatar to view the account details.

    1. If an account number is associated with your account, then log in to the Red Hat Partner Connect, to proceed with the certification process.
    2. If an account number is not associated with your account, then first contact the Red Hat global customer service team to raise a request for creating a new account number.

  3. Enter the following details to create a new Red Hat account:

    If you have created a Corporate type account and require an account number, contact the Red Hat global customer service team.
