  1. First go to: https://developer.apple.com/enroll and sign in using your Apple ID (or create an Apple ID if you do not have one yet).

2. After logging in you need to make sure that Two-Factor-Authentication is turned on

If it was already activated then after clicking on sign in, you would need to enter the code you received on your mobile phone. In case you have not setup two-factor-authentication, please refer to the following support page from Apple:

3. Confirm that all your information is correct (email, name, location), then choose "Company / Organization"  as entity

4. In order to enrol you need the following information:

  • D-U-N-S number

  • The authority to sign legal agreements
