Enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an organization

If you’re an employee at a company, nonprofit organization, joint venture, partnership, or government organization, follow these steps to enroll in the Apple Developer Program through the Apple Developer app on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Note that as the person enrolling your organization in the Apple Developer Program, you must have the legal authority to bind your organization to legal agreements. You must be the organization’s owner/founder, executive team member, senior project lead, or an employee with legal authority granted to you by a senior employee. 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.

Start enrollment

1. Launch the Apple Developer app on the device you want to use for enrollment.
2. Tap or click the Account tab.
3. Sign in with your Apple Account. This can be different than the Apple Account signed in to your device, but must have two-factor authentication turned on.
4. If prompted, review the Apple Developer Agreement and tap or click Agree.
5. Tap or click Enroll Now.
6. Review the program benefits and requirements and tap or click Continue.

Enter your information as the Account Holder

1. If requested, enter your legal first name, legal last name, and phone number. Do not enter an alias, nickname, or company name as your legal name, as doing so will cause a delay in the completion of your enrollment review.
2. 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.

Enter your organization’s information

Follow the steps on the next few screens to provide the following information:

• Entity type.
• Legal entity name. We do not accept DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches. The legal entity name will appear as the “seller” for apps you distribute. Example: Seller: ABC Company, Inc.
• D‑U‑N‑S® Number. Your organization must have a D‑U‑N‑S Number so that we can verify its identity and legal entity status. These unique nine-digit numbers are assigned by Dun & Bradstreet and are widely used as standard business identifiers. You can look yours up and request one for free.
• Headquarters address and phone number.
• Website. Your organization’s website must be publicly available and the domain name must be associated with your organization.
• Signing authority confirmation. Confirm that you have the authority to bind your organization to legal agreements and provide the contact information of an employee who can verify your signature authority.
• Optionally, if your organization is a nonprofit, educational, or government organization, you can request a fee waiver.

After you’ve submitted your information, it will be reviewed by Apple. You’ll then receive an email with next steps.

Membership is provided on an annual basis as an auto-renewable subscription that renews until cancelled. You can make your purchase using one of your Apple Account payment methods. Apple Account balances (from redeeming Apple Gift Cards or adding funds) aren’t accepted as payment for Apple Developer Program memberships.3 If you need to use your organization’s credit card, add it to the Apple Account that’s signed in to your device’s settings. This can be a different Apple Account than the one you use to enroll. A receipt will be emailed to you, and you can resend the receipt to yourself via email at any time from Purchase History in Settings. You can cancel your subscription in Settings up to one day before your annual renewal date. Membership fees paid for the year during which you cancel are nonrefundable.
