Shopping on Taobao<\/a> is usually straightforward for me. However, I recently encountered an issue where I purchased a digital item, and the seller provided a download link via Baidu Cloud<\/a>. Baidu Cloud is similar to Dropbox but is China\u2019s version. Consequently, accessing the purchased digital files requires a Baidu account. But there\u2019s a catch: registering for Baidu requries a Chinese phone number.<\/p>\n

As someone outside China, acquiring a Chinese phone number is challenging. This situation led me to explore alternative methods to register a Baidu account as a foreigner without a Chinese phone number. If you\u2019re facing a similar dilemma in obtaining a Baidu account, this guide could be beneficial.<\/p>\n

When you visit Baidu.com<\/a> and switch to the English version, you\u2019ll notice that there is no apparent option to register for an account.<\/p>\n

\"Baidu<\/figure>\n

The option to sign up is concealed within the \u201cLog in<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"Baidu<\/figure>\n

Attempting to sign up here typically fails, as it requires a Chinese phone number for verification.<\/p>\n

\"Registration<\/figure>\n

Signing up directly via Baidu.com\u2019s official website doesn\u2019t work. However, I discovered that adding ?reg&overseas=1<\/code> to the URL https:\/\/passport.baidu.com\/v2\/<\/code> allows non-Chinese residents to register.<\/p>\n

The complete URL is: https:\/\/passport.baidu.com\/v2\/?reg&overseas=1<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Baidu<\/figure>\n

You simply need to provide the correct country code for your phone, a phone number, a username, and a password. Then click \u201cget verification code<\/strong>,\u201d verify your phone number, and you\u2019re set!<\/p>\n

However, I encountered an issue where the verification code was labeled \u201cLikely-SCAM<\/strong>\u201d and was hidden.<\/p>\n

\"Likely<\/figure>\n

If you don\u2019t receive your verification code via SMS, check your text inbox\u2019s spam folder.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it! Now you know how to sign up for a Baidu account, giving you access to its search engine, Baidu Cloud, and other services. I hope this guide is helpful!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
