Gmail Username Availability Checker

Use our free tool to check if a gmail username is available for registration. Enter the username you would like to check and click the green button.

Gmail usernames must follow these rules:

  • 6 characters minimum
  • 30 characters maximum
  • Allowed characters: Letters (a-z), numbers (0-9)
  • Usernames with dots are treated the same as without them

How to check Gmail address availability using this tool:

Worry not, it’s super straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

  1. 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.
  2. Click on the green “Check Availability” button to see if the name is free on Gmail.
  3. 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, for 3 possible reasons. Let’s take a look at all the possible result messages you might encounter:

Username is too short
Gmail username needs to be at least 6 characters long.
Username is too long
Gmail username should be no more than 30 characters long.
Username contains invalid characters
Gmail username can only include letters (a-z) and numbers (0-9). No special characters allowed.
Username is not available
Oops! This username is already taken. Try another one.
Username is available
Great! This username is available for registration.

How Can I Check if a Gmail ID is Available?

The simplest way to check Gmail username availability is by using the Gmail Username Availability Checker tool provided above. Alternatively, you can attempt to register directly on Gmail.

Why Can’t I Use My Desired Gmail Username?

Gmail, like many other email providers, has specific guidelines for username selection. For example, a username like Mik*e won’t be accepted.

Here are the Gmail username guidelines:

  • The username must be between 6 and 30 characters long.
  • Only alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9) are allowed.

Use our Gmail Username Checker to ensure your chosen username adheres to these guidelines and to see if it’s still available.

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.

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?

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.
