Hi everyone, I've been stuck on Apple Developer Program enrollment for several days and have done extensive debugging. Posting all technical details hoping someone can help or has experienced the same. My setup:
Apple ID country/region: Armenia 2FA trusted phone: Armenian number (+374) Enrollment type: Individual / Sole Proprietor No VPN active during attempts Enrolling via browser (Chrome), not the app
What happens: I reach the agreement step, check the checkbox, click "Sign" - and get the generic "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." What I found in DevTools (Network tab): The real error is HTTP 403 Forbidden on: POST https://developer.apple.com/services-enrollment/submitIndividualEnrollment Payload sent: agreementId: 854R8GJUBL The response body is just a generic HTML error page with no actual error details from the backend. What I've already checked and fixed:
- Apple ID country = Armenia
- 2FA trusted phone = Armenian +374 (was a non-Armenian number before — now fixed)
- No VPN
- No pending agreements in account
- Tried incognito mode and multiple browsers
- Cleared cookies and cache
- Waited several hours after updating phone number
Still getting 403 after all of the above. Additional issue - Company enrollment: When attempting to enroll as Company/Organization with a verified DUNS number for my legally registered Individual Entrepreneur business in Armenia, I receive: "This organization could not be verified as a legal entity..."
- despite the DUNS being active and confirmed via Dun & Bradstreet.
My questions:
Has anyone resolved a persistent 403 on submitIndividualEnrollment? What was the actual root cause? Could there be an internal flag on my Apple ID that only Apple support can remove? Is there anything else I might have missed? Has anyone successfully enrolled as an Individual from Armenia recently?
Apple support has not responded to my email after 3+ business days. I've tried every fix mentioned on forums — nothing works so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.
