• Headquarters address and phone number.
• Website. Your organization’s website must be publicly available and the domain name must be associated with your organization.

Once your identity has been verified, it’s associated with your Apple ID and can’t be verified again by signing in with other Apple IDs. Before you begin, you’ll need:

• An iPhone or an iPad with Touch ID, Face ID, or a passcode enabled. You must use the same device for the entire enrollment process.
• An Apple ID with two-factor authentication turned on. Your Apple ID information must be valid and up to date — including, but not limited to, your first name (given name), last name (family name), address, phone number, trusted phone number, and trusted devices.

   • Capture the front of your photo ID and tap Confirm.
   • Capture the back of your photo ID and tap Confirm.
7. Review the information you submitted and tap Continue.

Complete the process

When your identity has been verified, you’ll see a confirmation screen. You can then return to the web to complete the process if needed.

Renewing your annual membership subscription

If you enrolled through the Apple Developer app, your membership will renew as an auto-renewable subscription. The default payment method associated with your App Store account (iOS 14) or iTunes and App Store account (iOS 13.7 and earlier) will be used. 3 If you need to use your organization’s credit card, add it to the Apple ID that’s signed in to your device’s settings in the Media & Purchases section (iOS 14) or the iTunes & App Store section (iOS 13.7 or earlier). This can be a different Apple ID than the one used to enroll.

Cancelling and resubscribing

You can cancel your subscription at any time and retain access to membership benefits until your membership’s expiration date, which you can view in the Account tab in the Apple Developer app. If you cancel your subscription and want to resubscribe, you can do so at any time for up to one year after your membership expiration date.

If you enrolled through the Apple Developer website, renewing your membership through the Apple Developer app is not currently supported.

1 Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is available in all regions supported by the App Store, except India and Kosovo. For information about using the Apple Developer app in China mainland, view this page in Simplified Chinese.

2 Photo ID: Apple will only use this information to verify your identity and prevent fraud. Apple may securely share this information with a third-party identity verification service provider that is prohibited from using this information for purposes other than identity verification and fraud prevention. Apple requires the third-party service provider to delete this information, and any information they obtained from it, as soon as it is no longer needed and retention is not required by law. If you provide an image of your photo ID, Apple will check its authenticity and pull your name and address from the photo, but will not keep the image. If you do not want to provide a photo of your government ID, and it is not required by law, you may contact Apple for an alternative method of identity verification. For details on how your information is used for enrollment and identity verification, read Apple’s Developer Programs and Your Privacy.
