Apple Developer Account Creation Process

Apple Developer Account:

Apple Requires that each business has their own Apple Developer Account. In order to do this, you must have a D-U-N-S® number. A D-U-N-S® number is used to identify your business, similar to that of a person’s social security number.

Check to see if your company already has a D-U-N-S® number using one of the links below.

• USA: https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/lookup.html
• Non-USA: https://www.dnb.com/choose-your-country.html
  • Depending on which site you are directed to, you'll need to navigate the page to find the Dun and Bradstreet section (usually under "For Businesses"). Let your project manager know if you are stuck at any point in the process.

If your company does not have a D-U-N-S® number, apply for one this week to get the process started—the application can take ~2-3 weeks to process.

Be sure to obtain a D-U-N-S® number as an LLC/LTD/Corporation; do not apply as a sole-proprietorship.

Note: in order to set up a business account with Apple, you must have an email that is associated with your business. Example [e-mail] will work, but [e-mail] or [e-mail] are not acceptable emails for a business account.
