Apparently you need to provide:
your experience with the Play Console - I have none, is it okay if I just type that?
A website to confirm your identity - wtf? Can I just send them my personal neocities website that has nothing to do with videogames? Or my personal page on social media?
Also, considering that I am from Russia, is it safer to just use a number from another country?

Are there any other stuff I need to look out for when I make this account? Because I asked someone else to pay the sign up fee and I want to make sure I get it right the first time. They're not THAT pedantic are they?
 
If you don't have any experience with the Play Console, it's okay to simply state that in your application.

As for the website to confirm your identity, it should ideally be a website that is associated with you and your business or work. If you don't have a personal website that is associated with your work or business, then you can use your personal page on social media, as long as it provides enough information to verify your identity.

Regarding using a number from another country, this may not be the best idea as it could cause issues with account verification later on. It's better to use a phone number from the country where you're currently located.

When creating your Play Console account, be sure to carefully review and follow all of Google's instructions and guidelines. This includes verifying your identity, providing accurate information about yourself and your app, and complying with all policies and terms of service. Google does take these things seriously and if they find any violations, they may take action against your account, including suspending or terminating it. So it's important to be as accurate and thorough as possible when setting up your account.
 
Well, I blew the website part then I guess lol. I actually have no personal pages that obviously appear to be mine...

That said, I have another question. I had someone else pay for the fee and now Google is asking to verify "personal details" with an ID or documents.
Does that mean I have to use their documents?

Anyway, great post! Thank you for clarification. The website detail is actually pretty valuable.
