My organization enrollment has been in review for 14 days with no request for additional documentation and no status update since the initial confirmation email. Enrollment ID: JUNQF6729B Entity type: Company/Organization Legal entity name: Blue Fountain Interactive Ltd. Date submitted: August 10, 2026 Verified on my side: Two-factor authentication is enabled on the Apple Account used to enroll Legal entity name matches the D-U-N-S lookup exactly D-U-N-S number is active and was accepted at submission Account email is active and receiving mail (spam checked) Organization website is publicly available and on our own domain Payment was completed with the same Apple Account There has been no documentation request, no verification call, and no explanation for the delay. Could someone from Apple review this enrollment and confirm whether anything is currently required from me? If documentation was requested and did not reach me, I can provide it the same day. I am also available for a verification call at the number on the enrollment. Thank you.

Hello, I’m posting here because the standard Developer Support channels have not resolved my Apple Developer Program enrollment. Enrollment type: Individual Enrollment ID: FQ4P5R6KZD Support case: 20000137545342 Timeline: My identity was initially selected for additional compliance verification. I uploaded my valid passport, and Apple later confirmed that I could complete the enrollment. Order D005117023 was submitted on August 12, 2026. The card was never charged, and Developer Support later confirmed that this order had failed. Order D005135435 was submitted on August 18, 2026. Again, the issuing bank received no authorization attempt, the card was not charged, and the developer website returned to “Purchase your membership.” I followed up through the existing support case and explicitly requested escalation to the Enrollment and Payments team, but have not received a response. I also requested a callback and remained on hold for more than one hour without reaching an agent. This does not appear to be a card decline because neither order reached the issuing bank. My identity verification was successfully completed, but the enrollment/payment state appears to be stuck in Apple’s backend. Could Apple Developer Support please review case 20000137545342 and either: clear or reset the stuck enrollment/payment state; confirm whether an additional compliance hold still exists; or provide a supported way to complete the existing enrollment without submitting a third order? Thank you, Alexander

Hello, I'm looking for guidance on a stuck Apple Developer Program renewal. Timeline: Previous membership expired: August 14, 2026 Submitted renewal request: August 16, 2026 $99 renewal fee charged successfully the same day As of today (August 24, 2026), account still shows as expired, renewal not completed I have two open support cases with no substantive resolution: Case ID: 20000141562551 (emails Aug 19, Aug 21) Case ID: 20000140556651 (emails Aug 18, Aug 20) I also submitted a follow-up email on Aug 24 (new case created: 20000145979208). The "Call" contact option on the case page does not open any phone number input form when clicked. Could anyone from Apple, or anyone who's resolved a similar renewal delay, advise on: What is typically causing this kind of delay after successful payment? Is there a way to get a status update beyond waiting for email replies? Any escalation path that has worked for others? This is blocking client work, so any guidance is appreciated. Thank you.

Hey Team, Is there a way to help me with this one Im been on pending for so long not sure way. Its such a critical time for my app to be publish please asist. Thanks. @appleSupport Case: 102918438230

Hi everyone, I am currently experiencing an ongoing loop with Apple Developer Support regarding organization enrollment for our UAE mainland-registered company, and I wanted to see if anyone else has faced this or found an effective workaround. The Issue: Apple's verification team keeps rejecting our corporate documents because they are requesting a "Certificate of Incorporation." However, for a UAE mainland company, the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) does not issue a separate Certificate of Incorporation. I verified this directly in person at the DET office the official Trade License is the primary legal document that serves as the commercial registration and holds the full legal and operational authority for the entity. Despite explaining this multiple times with each reply, every response seems to loop in a new support agent who doesn't review the established context, leaving us stuck asking for a document that simply does not exist for mainland companies in this region. Looking for Insights: Has anyone successfully onboarded a UAE mainland company recently? How did you navigate or satisfy the "Certificate of Incorporation" requirement? Did you have to request a specific escalation tier, or was there an alternative combination of official documents (such as the Trade License combined with the Commercial Registration/Sijil Tejari) that finally satisfied the review team? Any advice, tips, or experiences from developers who have gone through this in the UAE would be hugely appreciated!

I recently had the opportunity to work through the process of getting access to the Apple Developer Program at no cost for an academic institution in India. I wanted to share my experience because when I started exploring this, it wasn’t easy to find a simple explanation from the perspective of an Indian student or academic institution. This post is based on my experience with my institution. Requirements and verification may vary depending on the institution and Apple’s current enrollment process. A Little About My Journey I am a iOS Engineer and a student at a technical college in Nagpur, India. I am also the Founder & Originator of Swift Nagpur, a local initiative bringing together people interested in Swift and development for Apple platforms. Taking this initiative as a student was an interesting journey. As far as I am aware, I was the first person from my city to take this route and work through the process with an academic institution. When I started, I did not have a straightforward reference explaining the process from a student’s perspective. The biggest thing I learned is that students can take initiative. You do not have to wait for someone else to discover an opportunity. Research the process, approach your faculty and HOD, explain what you want to achieve, and work with your institution’s administration and authorized representatives. The Process I Followed 1. Create an Apple Account An Apple Account is required to get started, and creating one is free. Make sure the account information is accurate, as it will be used during enrollment. Create Account 2. Have Access to a Mac or iPhone You will need access to a Mac or iPhone because the enrollment process I followed was initiated through the Apple Developer app. In my case, having access to a Mac was important. I was the student taking the initiative and had access to the Mac needed for enrollment. This was also one reason my faculty trusted me to coordinate the process after appropriate authorization was arranged. macOS App iOS App 3. Check Your Institution’s D-U-N-S Number The academic institution needs a D-U-N-S Number for organizational verification. If your institution does not already have one, it may be possible to request one without charge. Make sure the institution’s legal name, address, organization details, and contact information match its official records. D-U-N-S Lookup 4. Keep Institutional Documents Ready During the process, documentation establishing the institution’s identity and status may be required. In my experience, an incorporation or registration certificate was relevant. Accreditation-related documentation may also be useful or accepted depending on the verification. Work with your institution’s administration and keep appropriate official documentation ready. 5. Institutional Verification Is Important This is not something a student should try to complete independently. An employee and the appropriate institutional authority or head should be involved because Apple may need to verify the institution and the authority of the person representing it. A student can initiate, research, explain, and coordinate while the institution provides the necessary authorization and verification. 6. What If You Are a Student Doing This for Your Institution? This was an important part of my journey because I was a student taking the initiative rather than an employee. If you are a student and discover this opportunity, first understand the process. Then speak with your faculty, HOD, institutional administration, and appropriate authority. Explain what the Apple Developer Program is, how it could benefit students and the institution, what enrollment involves, and what authorization you need. Signing Authority in My Case In my case, I was given Signing Authority specifically for this enrollment process. This was not general authority to act or sign on behalf of my institution. It was authorization specifically for this process and for a limited purpose and duration. I had access to the Mac required for enrollment, had taken the initiative to understand the process, and was trusted by my faculty to coordinate it. With their support, appropriate authorization was arranged so I could proceed with enrollment and verification while working with the relevant institutional representatives. For me, this was a significant responsibility. Being trusted with Signing Authority meant understanding that I was representing my institution and needed to handle the process responsibly. If you are a student in a similar position, do not assume that being a student automatically gives you authority to represent your institution. Talk to your faculty and HOD first and let your institution determine the appropriate authorization. Something I Learned From This Experience One of the biggest things this experience taught me is that being a student does not mean you cannot initiate something at an institutional level. If you discover an opportunity that could benefit your college and other students: research it, understand it, talk to your faculty, explain it, ask for guidance, and take the initiative. For me, this journey was about more than accessing the Apple Developer Program it was about connecting Apple’s developer ecosystem with my institution, faculty, and fellow students. Why I am Sharing This With Other Indian Institutions Opportunities around Apple platform development do not have to be limited to students from a small number of institutions or major technology hubs. Students from other cities can take initiative too. As the Founder & Originator of Swift Nagpur, I want to see more students in Nagpur and across India exploring Swift, developing for Apple platforms, sharing knowledge and building developer communities within their institutions and cities. I hope documenting my experience makes the path clearer for another student, faculty member, HOD, or academic institution trying to understand where to begin. Please remember that this is my personal experience, not an official Apple enrollment guide. Always refer to Apple’s current requirements. If my experience can help another student or institution take its first step into the Apple developer ecosystem, sharing it here is worthwhile. I hope this helps many. Vedang Kulkarni Founder & Originator, Swift Nagpur

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue enrolling in the Apple Developer Program from Turkey. I first tried to enroll through the Apple Developer app. I scanned my Turkish ID card multiple times, but it was never accepted. Most of the time I received this error: “Your identity couldn't be verified because the ID you submitted isn't accepted for your region or doesn't match the document type you selected.” On some attempts, I also received errors saying that the ID photo was blurry, even though the card and all information were clearly visible. After that, I tried enrolling through the Apple Developer website. I later withdrew that enrollment. However, after withdrawing the web enrollment, the Enroll button in the Apple Developer app became unavailable, and I now see this message: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account.” A few additional details: I live in Turkey. My Apple Account region is set to Turkey. My phone is also registered in Turkey. I am not using a VPN. My phone number is also associated with another regular Apple Account. However, this phone number has never been associated with an Apple Developer Program membership or Developer Account. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, especially with Turkish ID verification? Is there any way to reset the enrollment or identity verification status so I can try enrolling through the Apple Developer app again? Thanks!

I am writing this with deep disappointment regarding the Apple Developer Program enrollment process, which has become a significant challenge for me. I provided my card information to complete the payment and initially waited for two business days. However, it has now been almost seven days, and I have still not received any update regarding my account enrollment. I am a professional iOS developer and need to enroll in the Apple Developer Program to publish my applications. Unfortunately, what should be a straightforward process has become unnecessarily cumbersome. I have already been trying to complete the enrollment for almost two weeks, with no clear resolution or timeline. This experience has been particularly frustrating for developers in Pakistan, where the enrollment and payment process appears to involve additional difficulties. I would appreciate it if anyone could please help with proper processes and timelines.

i have membership, bought 2 weeks ago but several days later i have this issue Before you can use TestFlight to distribute beta builds of your app, you must renew your Apple Developer Program membership.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m seeking some guidance regarding our Apple Developer account and organization enrollment. We have submitted our request to activate/enroll our developer account under our company, and we are currently waiting for the process to be completed. We have also contacted Apple Developer Support regarding this matter and have been following the instructions provided to us. However, we have not yet received an update, and we are currently unable to proceed with our development and App Store submission activities. We would greatly appreciate any guidance from the Apple Developer community or Apple team regarding the appropriate next steps or how we can check the status of our request. If additional information or documentation is required from our side, we are ready to provide it immediately. Thank you very much for your assistance and support. Best regards, Meshari AYHAM LIMITED

Update: received a response, but it appears to misapply Guideline 3.1.1, looking for input Following up on my earlier post about a stuck submission (Submission ID: 1522a8de-defd-44f8-92e8-9edbb0d85c28). After a week of silence, we finally got a response on Aug 25, but it's a rejection under Guideline 3.1.1 that we believe misreads our app. The reviewer flagged our business/organization account registration screen, stating: "The app includes an account registration feature for businesses and organizations, which is considered access to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the app," and asked us to remove business/org registration entirely. The screenshot they attached shows only our Company Registration screen, just a work email and password field with a "Create Account" button. There's no purchase flow, pricing, or payment mechanism on that screen or reachable from it. Our app is a B2B marketplace connecting NYS-licensed security agencies with security guards for real, in-person shift coverage. Billing (a subscription for platform access) happens separately, later, and only for agencies that choose to subscribe, similar to how any B2B SaaS tool (Slack, Notion, etc.) lets a business create a free account before selecting a paid tier, without that account-creation step needing to go through in-app purchase. Has anyone dealt with a similar 3.1.1 rejection for a B2B/enterprise account registration flow, where the reviewer seems to conflate account creation with an external purchase mechanism? Curious whether this is a known pattern and what resolved it, a specific citation to reference, particular wording in App Review notes, or an actual call with Apple that got it unstuck. Is there anything else we should try, or can someone from the App Review team take a look at this case? Happy to provide any additional information needed — we just want to understand what's needed to move forward. Apple ID: 6799377443 Submission ID: 1522a8de-defd-44f8-92e8-9edbb0d85c28 Appreciate any insight.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to enroll my company in the Apple Developer Program as an organization, but I’m stuck during the verification process. I have entered all company information, including a valid D-U-N-S Number. The company information appears to be correct. The problem is that Apple asks me to verify my company email address, but the verification code never arrives. I have already: checked spam/junk and quarantine folders requested the code several times confirmed that the company email address is correct tried multiple times with the same result After several attempts, the verification process became blocked, so I can no longer continue. Has anyone experienced the same issue recently with Organization Enrollment? Were you able to resolve it without creating a new Apple ID or changing the company information? I would especially appreciate advice from anyone who had the exact same problem with the verification code not being delivered. Thanks!

Hi, Posting here after exhausting standard support channels for a stuck organization enrollment. Timeline: July 18, 2026 — Submitted Apple Developer Program enrollment for our organization. July 20, 2026 — Received a request for Employee Verification. Submitted the required documentation the same day. Since then — No update, no email, no change in status. The enrollment has been sitting silently for over 3 weeks with no indication of what (if anything) is wrong. Support attempts so far: Opened a support case (Case number: 20000126798187) via developer.apple.com/contact and sent 2 follow-up messages through the case. No response to either. Requested a phone callback through the "Membership and Account" contact option 3 separate times. Each time, no agent connected after 45+ minutes of waiting for the callback. No error message, rejection notice, or request for additional information has been received at any point — the case simply shows no progress. What I'm asking: Could someone from Apple Developer Relations or a forum moderator help look into this case, or advise on how to get a response? I'm happy to provide any additional verification or documentation needed — I just have no visibility into what's blocking the review, and standard channels haven't been able to help. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I've waited 4 months to get my developer account approved Apple insist this is normal and nothing to be worried about. I've emailed multiple times and I've called multiple times. I've never known it to take more than a week has anyone experienced something like this? My entire business is suffering as a result. Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone from the Apple Developer support team or another developer who's been through this can help. Enrollment ID: 68UYPM637K Organization: CHARRY - INDUSTRIA E COMERCIO DE CONFECCOES LTDA Timeline so far: This enrollment was submitted by our company's owner/founder, who has the legal authority to bind the organization to agreements. We received a request for identity verification documents (government-issued photo ID, Articles of Association, and CNPJ card for the organization). We submitted all requested documents through the secure upload portal on July 29, 2026 (14 days ago). Checking developer.apple.com/account directly, the enrollment still shows as "being processed," with no further update or request since then. At this point we've submitted everything requested and haven't received any update in 14 days. This is delaying a planned app launch for our company. Has anyone else experienced a delay like this after submitting documents? Is there anything else we should try, or can someone from Apple please take a look at enrollment 68UYPM637K? Thank you in advance for any guidance.

My Apple Developer Program subscription is active and has been charged since August 4, 2026. It appears in Settings > Media & Purchases > Subscriptions as "Apple Developer — Apple Developer Program Membership — EUR 98.99 — Renews 4 August 2027". Order Number: MXG5MQXMB7 Sequence: 1-14176576193 Document: 684171427919 Region: France Apple Developer Support has already confirmed on these forums that Developer Support requested documents to review my enrollment on August 5th, 2026. The problem is that the request was sent to the email address that was on the account at that time. That address was on a domain that has since expired. The message bounced and was never delivered, so I never saw it and no documents were ever submitted. The account email was corrected on August 6 to app.dev13 [at] icloud.com and has worked since. The account name was corrected to my legal name the same day. Both are current and reachable. Current state: developer.apple.com/account still shows "Purchase your membership" with the header "(Pending)". The Apple Developer app shows "Enrollment Pending" with the Enroll button greyed out. There is no identity verification prompt anywhere in my account and no self-serve way to trigger one. I have not clicked "purchase your membership" because I already hold an active paid membership and will not be charged twice. What I need is the document request from August 5 reissued to app.dev13 [at] icloud.com. My government-issued photo ID is ready and I will upload it the same day I receive a working link. If that request has lapsed and cannot be reissued, please tell me the correct path forward, including whether I should cancel this enrollment and start a new one. I have been blocked for 17 days and I need a definitive answer either way. I have also opened a case through the Developer Contact form.

Hello, Our organization (Farm to Home Nepal Pvt. Ltd.) has been trying to complete Apple Developer Program enrollment as an organization, and the status has remained "Pending" for an extended period with no communication from Apple. Enrollment ID: JCB5827LB9 Support Case IDs (Category: Membership and Account > Program Enrollment): Case ending 0060 Additional cases submitted July 5, July 6, and July 7, 2026 Details: DUNS number is on file and matches our legally registered company name exactly Domain/website for the organization is active and verifiable No request for additional documentation or verification has been received No response has been received to any of the above support cases This is blocking our ability to proceed with App Store Connect and our planned app launch. Could someone from the enrollment team please review Enrollment ID JCB5827LB9 and advise what, if anything, is outstanding on our end? Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual developer in Vietnam, but I am currently blocked on both enrollment methods. On the Apple Developer website, I receive: “Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” I never reach the identity verification or payment step. I also tried the Apple Developer app on my iPhone. The Enroll Now button is disabled and the app displays: “Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/.” I have already checked the basic account requirements: Two-factor authentication is enabled Trusted phone number is configured Legal name and date of birth are correct Country/Region is Vietnam Address is configured Payment method is configured I am enrolling as an Individual, not an organization I already have an open case with Apple Developer Support and am waiting for them to review it. Has anyone recently encountered this exact combination of errors? I'm particularly interested in whether your case was resolved by: Apple Support resetting a failed/stale enrollment state Manually triggering identity verification or an ID upload request Clearing a previous or pending enrollment record Escalating the case to a Developer Program Support specialist If you experienced this, how was it ultimately resolved and how long did it take? I would prefer to continue using my existing Apple Account rather than create a new one unless Apple specifically instructs me to do so. Thanks for any experience or advice.

Hello, I would like to cancel my pending Individual-to-Organization membership migration.
