As previously stated, Apple charges developers an annual fee of USD99 for their Apple Developer account.

Enrolling as an Individual:<\/h3>\n

If you want to register as an individual on the Apple Developer console, you must provide basic legal information such as your legal name, legal address, and legal contact information. Apart from that, it is a must to enable 2 Factor Authentication of your Apple ID for enrolling as a solo\/proprietor person.<\/p>\n

Enrolling in an Organization:<\/h3>\n

It is always a good idea to register as an organization on the Apple Developer Console before deploying iOS apps.
\nThe very first thing that is required to enroll on the Apple Developer Console is the D-U-N-S number (Data Universal Numbering System Number). Apple requires the D-U-N-s number to verify the organization\u2019s legal status.<\/p>\n

The D-U-N-S number is offered by Dun & Bradstreet and is in use for standard business identifiers. You may quickly verify if your company has a D-U-N-S number or apply for one because the D-U-N-S number is offered at no additional cost.<\/p>\n

Status as a legal entity<\/h3>\n

After providing the D-N-U-S number, the second thing that comes is the legal entity verification. It is a requirement for every organization to have a legal entity. It must be registered as a corporation.The reason for this is that Apple makes certain before entering into a contract with an organization. Enrollment in fictitious companies, trade names\/branch locations, and DBAs are forbidden.<\/p>\n

Legal Binding Authority:<\/h3>\n

After the D-N-U-S number and legal entity status have been successfully validated, the third step is carried out. Then, the person who is enrolling in the Apple Developer program must have the authority to bind the organization to Apple\u2019s legal agreements and policies. Only the owner, founder, senior managers, executive team members, and legally granted authority persons are eligible to enroll an organization in the Apple Developer program.<\/p>\n

A Publicly Available Website:<\/h3>\n

The last credential required to fulfill Apple\u2019s developer policy is a legal, publicly available website. As an Apple developer, your website must be publicly available. Furthermore, it must be related to your business.<\/p>\n
