FedEx Web Services Registration / Keys

Registration

If the company is not already registered with a FedEx.com Login (User ID and password) at the FedEx site, U.S. customers may register here.  The FedEx.com registration offers using an existing FedEx account number with a new FedEx.com Login, or, optionally, creating a FedEx.com Login and adding a new FedEx Account number, if needed.

Freight account

If the company does not already have a FedEx Freight Account, apply for it here.  This process usually takes a few days to complete, since a FedEx representative contacts the applicant by phone for confirmation purposes.
