How to Enter an Amazon Fire Stick Registration Code

If your Fire TV Stick displays a code during setup, leave that code on the TV screen and use a phone or computer to visit the Amazon web address shown beside it. Sign in to the Amazon account you want to use with the device, enter the code exactly as displayed, and follow the confirmation prompts. The address on your screen is the best one to use because setup screens can vary.

Registering the Fire TV Stick connects it to an Amazon account, including that account’s eligible purchases and subscriptions. Before submitting the code, check the email address on the sign-in page. If it is not the account you want on your TV, sign out and switch accounts first.

Some Fire TV Stick setup screens let you sign in directly on the TV instead of entering a code on another device. Use the remote to select the sign-in option shown, then enter your Amazon account details or follow the on-screen QR code instructions. Keep the Fire TV Stick connected to Wi-Fi while setup finishes; an interrupted connection can prevent registration from completing.

A code shown inside a streaming app is usually for that app, not for Fire TV Stick registration. Open the app on your TV and follow its instructions, which typically direct you to the provider’s activation page on a phone or computer. Check the website address on the app’s screen before entering the code, and sign in with the account for that streaming service.

If you have a discount code for a Fire TV Stick purchase, enter it during Amazon checkout—not on the device’s setup screen. Look for a gift card or promotional code field before placing the order, then confirm that the discount appears in the order total.
