The EOS Papa Account Service is a public service. It offers convenient ways to create EOS Accounts with EOS Wallets like Anchor and Start Wallet **OR** from a central exchange Wallet (with Transit Service).

Moreover, you can claim a free NPP airdrop after account creation.

In this article we provide a brief overview of these different methods and a short how-to guide.

1. Smart contract automatic registration

* For the ones who already have an EOS Account.
* EOS Papa is a public service and doesn't charge anything.
* 0.06 EOS is charged by the EOS system and is used to purchase RAM.

  + The advanced method with 2 keypairs costs 0.1 EOS.

**Simple method via eospapa.com website**

***Note:*** *You will find the advanced method below. We recommend it for security reasons.*

Create a key pair with an offline key-tool like [eoskey](https://github.com/eoscafe/eoskeyio/releases/tag/1.0.0) (download from Github). or Anchor Wallet's key generator (go offline when generating) and secure the keys properly.
