What is the best way of creating a company Apple ID?

Dear community


I need to enroll my company to the developer program. I therefore need a company Apple ID.

However, one when creating an Apple ID the fields that one needs to fill in correspond to an individual:

First Name, Family Name, Birthdate, etc.

For an Apple ID that is going to belong to a company, and will be used exclusively for the developer program, how should these fields be filled in?


Thanks

The account requires a single primary contact....a human primary contact - a person that can be looked at by Apple as a responsible representative. The Apple ID should belong to them. This sort of identification alignment should not set a precedent in any company. Point is, don't approach the need as if it were a faceless bookmarked strawman.


If you're worried about using the account downstream, note there are Member Center roles that can be assigned and applied as required.


See:

- Program (Member Center) roles:

...and don't confuse those with iTunes Connect roles:

Just be sure to not use one that is tied to other accounts, such as Developer, iBooks, free provisioning etc.
