Updating your account information

Name, address, or contact information

To update your name, address, contact information, associated with your Apple Developer Program membership, go to the membership details section of your developer account page to submit a request. Updates, such as changes to your name or address, must be verified and approved, as this information is associated with contracts between you and Apple. You’ll be asked to provide documentation that reflects the changes you request.

To update your personal name used in email communications and displayed on Apple websites, you’ll need to edit your Apple Account at account.apple.com. Please note that if you’re enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual, updating your name in your Apple Account will not change the name used for your membership or seller name on the App Store.

Updating an individual membership to an organization membership

If you’d like to update your membership from an individual to an organization, please submit a request. You’ll need to be the founder/cofounder of the organization and provide details such as your organization’s D-U-N-S Number. You also may be asked to submit business documents to verify your organization’s identity.

Transferring the Account Holder role

The Account Holder of an organization’s membership can transfer the Account Holder role to another employee on the team who has the legal authority to bind your organization to legal agreements. Account Holder transfers for individual members are granted on a limited basis and require assistance from Apple.

If you’re using a Managed Apple Account and need to make updates to the Account Holder role, contact us.

Affiliate legal entity registration

To help manage your global business in the Apple Developer Program, you can request to add region-specific affiliate legal entities to your account in App Store Connect. These affiliates will be listed as separate sellers on the App Store, and youʼll be able to set the territory, banking details, and tax information for each of them.

Requirements:

• You must have accepted the latest Paid Applications Agreement for your Apple Developer Program membership.
• If you are the parent entity, and legally own or control a subsidiary you wish to add, then you must provide a D-U-N-S Number, and/if required, a certificate, in the form provided by Apple, evidencing the parent/subsidiary relationship.
• If you wish to add an affiliate with whom you are under common control, then you must provide a D-U-N-S Number for the affiliate, and the parent entity must provide a letter, in the form provided by Apple, evidencing the relationship. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “common control” means that the parent entity which wholly owns both you and the affiliate you wish to add possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management policies of you and the affiliate you wish to add, whether through ownership of voting securities, an interest in registered or issued capital, by contract, or otherwise.

Your request to register an affiliate will be reviewed and verified to confirm that the legal entities and D-U-N-S Numbers display a valid parent-to-subsidiary legal entity relationship. Distinct legal entities and branch companies aren’t eligible.

If you need to register an affiliate and meet these requirements, please submit a request.
