After contacting Apple Support regarding MDM support for my Apple Developer Account, I received a link for my MDM request. The form in the link however requests for my Apple ID which seems to only be possible if I have an App on the AppStore. Considering I am only building an MDM Server I can not provide an Apple ID for this purpose.

I have tried explaining this to the AppleSupport contact but I'm not getting any real result. I would appreciate any suggestions or support from this forum.

I specifically require access to the MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate so that I can generate the APNs MDM Push Certificate needed for our MDM server to communicate with Apple devices.

Occasionally Apple Developer Support will get confused with two similar requests for access. The first is to use device management capabilities for a parental controls app, and the second is the MDM CSR access in order to implement a device management server. I suggest you respond to Apple Developer Support and point out that you're requesting to become a device management service (MDM) developer, not access MDM capabilities from a parental controls style app.
