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.
