As part of the app-submission process for the Apple App Store, it is necessary to create an iOS Developer Account. 

Requirements before enrolling

To enroll as an organization, you’ll need the following: 

• An Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled

• A D-U-N-S Number that lets Apple verify your organization’s identity and legal entity status

• Legal entity status, meaning your organization can enter into contacts with Apple

• Legal binding authority, which means you personally can enter your organization into a contract with Apple

• A website (we’ve got you covered!)

More information about these requirements is available at https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/. 

Create an account

1. Go to https://developer.apple.com/enroll/ to start your enrollment.

2. Sign in with your Apple ID, or create one if necessary.

3. Read and agree to the Apple Developer Agreement.

4. Confirm your email, name, and location, then select “Company/Organization” as your entity. Click “Continue.”

5. Under “Authority to Sign Legal Agreements,” select the appropriate choice. 

6. When you make a selection, the “Your Work Email” field will be displayed. Enter your organization-provided email address. You cannot use Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, or other personal addresses.

7. Under “Organization Information,” enter the following: 

   • Legal Entity Name

   • D-U-N-S Number

   • Website

   • Headquarters Phone

   • Tax ID/National ID 

8. Complete the CAPTCHA and click “Continue.”
9. On the “Summary for Review” page, review the information, select the “This is the correct headquarters address for my organization” checkbox, and click “Submit.” You will receive an email to let you know that your application was received. 
10. After Apple verifies your application and sends you a confirmation email, confirm and pay for your membership. 

Note: In eligible countries, the fee is waived for nonprofit organizations, accredited educational institutions, and government entities. Find out more at https://developer.apple.com/support/membership-fee-waiver/.
