What You Need To Enroll

If you’re enrolling your organization, you’ll need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication turned on, as well as the following to get started:

A D-U-N-S® Number

Your organization must have a D-U-N-S Number so that Apple can verify your organization’s 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 check to see if your organization already has a D-U-N-S Number and request one if necessary. 

They are free in most jurisdictions. 

Legal Entity Status

Your organization must be a legal entity so that it can enter into contracts with Apple. 

Apple does not accept DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches.

Legal Binding Authority

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.

A Website

Your organization’s website must be publicly available and the domain name must be associated with your organization.
