On Yahoo! Personals, it's free to create a profile and add your photos! You can also choose whether to post it publicly for others to find or keep it out of search and only share it with people you choose.

To post a profile:

  1. Go to the Yahoo! Personals home page.
  2. For users who are signed into the Yahoo! network, go to step 3. If are not signed in and you already have a Yahoo! ID and password, enter it now. If you aren't a registered Yahoo! user, click the "Sign up now" link.
  3. On the Yahoo! Personals home page click the "Create a Free Profile" link near the top of the page.
  4. On the next page, you must accept the code of conduct agreement by clicking "continue."
  5. You are now at step 1 of the Profile Creation Process. Complete each of the 4 steps in the process by clicking "Continue" at the bottom of each page. At any point, you can click "Save & Finish Later" to finish your profile another time.
  6. At the final step, "Preview & Submit Profile," you'll have a chance to review how your profile appears to other users.
  7. If you wish to make changes at this point, click the "Edit" link for the portion of the profile that you wish to change, or directly click on any characteristic in the profile.
  8. When you're finished editing, click the "Submit Profile" button to submit your profile and to start the profile approval process.

The profile will be updated on our site after it is reviewed by our Customer Care team. Please keep an eye out for email updates and messages on our site regarding the status of your profile.

Note: If approved, your profile appears in the search results within 48 hours. To ensure posting, please follow the Yahoo! Personals guidelines. Note that photos might take up to 72 hours to appear on your personal profile.

You can create only one personal profile on our site at a time. When your profile is posted, you can always edit it or add photos as you wish.
