This section describes how to create an organization. Before you begin:

- You need a [Docker ID](/accounts/create-account/)
- Review the [Docker subscriptions and features](../../subscription/details.md) to determine what subscription to choose for your organization

## Create an organization

There are multiple ways to create an organization. You can either:
- Create a new organization using the **Create Organization** option in Docker Hub
- Convert an existing user account to an organization

The following section contains instructions on how to create a new organization. For prerequisites and
detailed instructions on converting an existing user account to an organization, see
[Convert an account into an organization](/manuals/admin/organization/convert-account.md).

To create an organization:

1. Sign in to [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com/).
2. Under Settings and administration, select **Go to Admin Console**.
3. Select the **Organization** drop-down in the left-hand navigation and then **Create Organization**.
4. Choose a subscription for your organization, a billing cycle, and specify how many seats you need. See [Docker Pricing](https://www.docker.com/pricing/) for details on the features offered in the Team and Business subscription.
5. Select **Continue to profile**.
6. Enter an **Organization namespace**. This is the official, unique name for
your organization in Docker Hub. It's not possible to change the name of the
organization after you've created it.

   > [!NOTE]
   >
   > You can't use the same name for the organization and your Docker ID. If you want to use your Docker ID as the organization name, then you must first [convert your account into an organization](/manuals/admin/organization/convert-account.md).

7. Enter your **Company name**. This is the full name of your company. Docker
displays the company name on your organization page and in the details of any
public images you publish. You can update the company name anytime by navigating
to your organization's **Settings** page.
8. Select **Continue to billing** to continue.
9. Enter your organization's billing information and select **Continue to payment** to continue to the billing portal.
10. Provide your card details and select **Purchase**.

You've now created an organization.
