# Create an Application

* You need to have a valid and active PandaDoc account with a verified email address.
* Register your application at the [Developer Dashboard](https://app.pandadoc.com/a/#/settings/api-dashboard/configuration). Please note, the application creation is only available with the production API access enabled, while you can test the public API with the Sandbox API key.
