You can add contacts on your iPad in a few simple steps.

If you connect your iPad to a webmail service like Gmail, any contacts in those accounts should sync with your iPad automatically.

You can also add new contacts to your iPad manually. If you have an iPhone or another iOS device on the same iCloud account, any contacts you add to your iPad will automatically sync to those other devices as well.
