If you’re an individual or sole proprietor/single-person business, follow these steps to enroll in the Apple Developer Program through the Apple Developer app on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Before you begin, you’ll need:
- An iPhone or iPad with Touch ID, Face ID, or passcode enabled, or a Mac with the T2 Security Chip and Apple Silicon. You must use the same device for the entire enrollment process.
- An Apple Account with two-factor authentication turned on. Your Apple Account information must be valid and up to date — including, but not limited to, your first name (given name), last name (family name), address, phone number, trusted phone number, and trusted devices.
- The latest version of the Apple Developer app installed on your device.
- To sign in to iCloud on your device.

Enter your personal information
- If requested, enter your first name, last name, and phone number. Your personal legal name will be listed as the seller on the App Store. Don’t enter an alias, nickname, or company name as your first or last name, as entering your legal name incorrectly will cause a delay in the completion of your enrollment review.
- You’ll be asked to verify your identity using your driver’s license or government-issued photo ID. Take a picture of your photo ID.2 We accept passports in most regions, and some regions can accept additional types of government-issued ID, like a driver's license.
