Apple Developer Account Creation Process

Apple Developer Account:

Apple Requires that each business has their own Apple Developer Account.  Follow the steps below to create an account.

How to Create an iOS Developer Account:

For the Apple Developer account, be sure to apply as an organization and not as an individual. In order to do this, you must have a DUNs number. A DUNs number is basically a number used to specifically identify your business, similar to that of a person’s social security number. Please check to see if you already have a DUNS number. If you do not, please apply for one this week to get the process started as it can take up to 2 weeks.  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.

Check and see if you already have a DUNs number here:
