Korean Individual Developer - Paid Apps Agreement requires BRN or NTS Registration Number

Hello,

I am an Apple Developer Program member with an Individual account in South Korea.

I am preparing to launch an iOS app with auto-renewable subscriptions and have configured App Store Connect and RevenueCat.

However, my Paid Apps Agreement remains in "Pending User Info" status because Apple requires one of the following:

  • Business Registration Number (BRN) with a recent English Business Registration Certificate or
  • NTS Registration Number with a recent Registration Certificate

The problem is that:

  • I am an individual developer, not a company.
  • I do not have a Business Registration Number.
  • I do not have an NTS Registration Number.
  • According to the information I found, the NTS Registration Number seems to be intended for non-profit organizations rather than individual developers.

Current status:

  • Apple Developer account: Individual
  • Country: South Korea
  • Paid Apps Agreement: Pending User Info
  • RevenueCat subscriptions configured correctly
  • App Store Connect subscription products created successfully
  • RevenueCat logs show: "None of the products registered in the RevenueCat dashboard could be fetched from App Store Connect"

My questions are:

  1. Can an Individual Apple Developer account in South Korea sell paid apps or auto-renewable subscriptions without a business registration?
  2. If yes, what tax document should be submitted to complete the Republic of Korea Tax Form?
  3. Has anyone successfully activated Paid Apps Agreement in South Korea as an individual developer without registering a business?

Any guidance or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
