Step 1: Create or Sign in to Your Apple ID

Visit Apple Developer Enrollment and scroll down. Click on Start Your Enrollment to begin the process.

In the following window, enter your Apple ID (the one you plan to use for your Apple Developer account) and click Continue. If you're using a Mac, be mindful that it might default to your personal Apple ID. Double-check to ensure you're using the correct account, especially if you intend to use a new Apple ID for this mobile app project.

If you don’t already have an Apple ID, click on Create Yours Now and follow the steps below.

Enter your name, birthday, email, password, and phone number. Make sure both your email and phone number are accessible as you’ll need them for verification with a 6-digit code.

For the Apple Developer Program, it’s recommended to use a work email that’s accessible by both you and your team members. This ensures continuity if you, the account holder, are no longer working on the project in the future.

Note: Many organizations have lost access to their developer account when staff members left and didn’t provide proper handover information. Make sure to establish a process for this within your team to avoid complications down the line.

After completing the signup process, consider adding multiple trusted phone numbers for account recovery. This is particularly useful for teams. You can follow Apple’s official guide to add more numbers here: Apple Support - Trusted Numbers.

Step 2: Confirm your personal information, provide Organization Details and the Legal Authority Confirmation

From the original page in Step 1, click on 'Start Your Enrollment' to go the Apple Developer Program Enrollment site. 

The 1st Screen is for the Account Holder's Personal Information. (Do not enter fictious or general business info as it will get flagged later in the process by Apple and delay the account process)

• First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number: These should match the information used for your Apple ID.
• Address: This should be your personal address.

The 2nd Screen is where you will select your entity type:

• Note: STQRY requires a Company/Organization, Nonprofit, Accredited Educational Institution or Government Organization.
• If you are a nonprofit, educational institution, or government organization, you may be eligible for a fee waiver. Make sure to check for this option during enrollment.
• An Individual/Sole Proprietor account is Not accepted

The 3rd Screen requires the following:

• Organization’s Legal Entity Name: Ensure this matches exactly with the name associated with your D-U-N-S number, including any punctuation (e.g., "Oncell Systems, Inc" is different from "Oncell Systems Inc").
• D-U-N-S Number: Enter your D-U-N-S number. If you don’t have one yet, refer to the D-U-N-S lookup instructions above.

The 4th Screen requires the following:

• Headquarters Address and Contact Information: Provide your organization’s headquarters address and a valid contact number.
• Organization’s Website: Enter the public domain of your organization’s website.
• Legal Authority Confirmation: Confirm that you have the legal authority to bind your organization to Apple’s agreements.

Step 3: Apple’s Review Process and Finalizing Enrollment.

After submitting your information, Apple will begin their review process. Be sure to monitor your email for any additional steps or requests for further information.

Once Apple approves your application, you'll receive an email with instructions to complete your enrollment. Visit the Apple Developer Account page to review and agree to the program license agreement, then proceed with purchasing the membership.

Check your inbox for the activation email, and click the verification link to finalize your account setup. Your account will be activated once the verification is complete.
