How to check gmail address availability using this tool:
- Enter the username you would like to have into the input field. It must be between 6 and 30 long. Only a-z and 0-9 characters are allowed. Dots don't play any role, all dotted variants are the same as the main variant without dots.
- Click on the green "Check Availability" button to see if the name is free on Gmail.
- Check the result. If you need further information, check out our results guide below.
Username Availability Results Guide:
There are 2 possible outcomes of the username availability verification. The username is either free to register or taken. However, your username might not be suitable for Gmail, with 3 possible reasons. Let's take a look at all the possible result messages you might encounter:
The username is too short
Gmail username has to be 6 or more characters long.
The username is too long
Gmail username must not be longer than 30 characters.
The username contains invalid characters
Gmail username can only consist of alphanumerical characters. That is a-z and 0-9. No special characters are allowed.
The username is not available
In this case, the username check went through just fine. Unfortunately, the result is that the name is already taken and you cannot use it.
The username is available.
Green result is a good result! The username you checked is most probably available for registration. Why most probably? During our testing, we've encountered a tiny amount of cases with a false positive result.
How can I check if a Gmail ID is available?
The easiest way to check if a Gmail username is available is by using a Gmail username availability checker tool, see above. Another option is to just try to register at Gmail directly.
Why is my Gmail username not allowed?
Gmail (and other email providers) have certain rules you have to follow when choosing your username. Yeah, you won't be able to register with M*i*k*e as your username.
With Gmail, your username has to be between 6 and 30 characters long and can only use alphanumerical characters (a - z and 0 - 9). Use our Gmail username checker to check if the syntax of your username is correct and if the username is free.
The username that I create for Gmail on the ''emailsverified.com'' is available, but not directly on the ''gmail.com''
Too bad!
Sorry about that, occasionally, we might not be able to detect the availability correctly.
I am trying to check availability and have been locked out
This name is available, but when I try to register... I am told the name is taken??????
Dear sweet heaven does it have to be soooo complicated !!!!!!
Hey There Is A Small Problem It Says Username Is Available For Emails Which Are Deleted Do Fix This Apart From This This Tool Is Great
Hey! Can you please give me an example email so we can test it? Thanks
If one knows the word they want in their address, and it is not available, is there an easy way to search for the closest available address that can include that name?
Hey! We don't have such a tool right now, but we plan something like that for the future. 😉
Google will do this for you too. If you try to register a name that's unavailable, it will suggest a few alternatives that are similar to what you requested. If you don't like any of them, just back out of the registration process and try again with something else.
i have search here a username and give available but when i tried to google create form says already name exist.
Did you find a solution, the same thing is happening with me?
Just wanted to say that this worked very well for me! It was easier to create emails for my kids knowing what was already taken. Thank you
