Creating Your Account

Overview

Creating a BlueClerk account is your first step toward streamlining your contracting business. Whether you're a contractor looking to manage jobs and customers, a homeowner seeking reliable service providers, or a builder managing warranty work, BlueClerk has you covered. All registrations are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent spam and abuse.

IMPORTANT: BlueClerk account creation is currently limited to users located in the United States and Ireland. If a signup attempt is made from outside those countries, account creation will be blocked and you'll see the message: "BlueClerk signup is currently available only in the United States and Ireland."

Sign Up with Email

1. Visit the sign-up page - Go to app.blueclerk.com and click "Sign Up"
2. Choose your account type - Select what describes you best:
   • Homeowner — Individual property owner
   • Individual Contractor — Self-employed tradesperson
   • Contractor Company — Contracting business with employees
3. Fill in your details — Provide name, email, and password (or choose Google sign-in)

Important notes and verification checks

• All signups use Cloudflare Turnstile bot protection. You may be asked to complete a quick verification challenge during signup.
• Google Sign-In flows also require completing the Turnstile verification before the account is created.
• To prevent abuse we enforce rate limits:
  • Maximum of 3 signup attempts per IP address in a 24-hour window.
  • Maximum of 3 signups that share the same normalized company name prefix in a 7-day window.
  • If you hit a rate limit you may see messages like:
    • "Too many signup attempts. Please try again tomorrow."
    • "We could not verify this company signup. Please contact support."
• We apply simple checks to reject obviously fake or abusive names and repeated campaign-style company names (for example, names that normalize to campaign markers such as "vinted") — these are blocked with: "Please use a real name and company name."
• Company name validation requirements (for contractor company signups):
  • At least 2 characters long and contain at least 3 letters.
  • Must not include an "@" character.
  • If your email local-part (before the @) is long (5+ chars) and exactly matches a normalized company name, the signup may be rejected — try using the company's formal or alternate name.

Sign Up with Google

When signing in with Google for the first time, you'll choose your account type (homeowner, contractor, or business) before your account is created. You can also link your Google account to an existing BlueClerk account from your profile settings, allowing you to sign in with either your email/password or Google.

First-Time Google Sign-In

When you sign in with Google for the first time:

1. Click "Sign in with Google" on the login screen
2. Select your Google account from the list
3. Authorize BlueClerk if prompted
4. Complete the Turnstile security verification when shown
5. Choose your account type on the type picker page:
   • Homeowner
   • Individual Contractor
   • Contractor Company

If Turnstile verification fails you may see "Security verification failed. Please retry verification." — try completing the verification again. If the verification repeatedly fails, try a different browser or network, or contact support for help.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q: I completed Google sign-in but the signup failed with a security verification message.
A: Google signups require the Turnstile verification step. Retry the verification when prompted. If it still fails, try a different browser, clear cookies/cache, or switch networks. If you continue to see the error, contact support.

Q: I got "Too many signup attempts. Please try again tomorrow." — what now?
A: That indicates an IP-based rate limit (3 attempts per 24 hours). Wait 24 hours and try again, or use a different network (for example, your mobile data). If you need immediate help, contact support and include the error message and approximate time.

Q: My company name was rejected with "Please enter a real company name." or "Please use a real name and company name."
A: We apply a few automated checks to block fake or campaign-style signups. Try using your official business name (avoid single-word repeated campaign strings), include more letters (names with at least 3 letters are allowed), and avoid using the same string as your email local-part. If you believe your name was rejected in error, contact support and include the company name you tried.

Q: I see the country restriction message but I'm in the US/Ireland.
A: Country detection is based on request headers. If you're in the allowed countries but blocked, try connecting via a different network or ensure your browser isn't using a VPN that changes your apparent country. Contact support if the issue persists.

Q: Why does BlueClerk block names like "ddos", "attack", or known campaign markers?
A: These checks prevent automated abusive signups and large-scale outreach campaigns that would create low-quality accounts. Blocking such names reduces fraud and helps keep the platform secure for real users.

Questions

Q: I need help completing signup or believe I were blocked in error.
