Apple Store - Individual

There are two options when creating an App account: Individual or Business.

  • Business accounts can take up to 40 days for the process to be completed. In this account, you can have multiple administrators. The Company will be displayed in the store.
  • Individual accounts can take up to 2 working days, however, you can only have one administrator for it. The name of the person who opened the account will be displayed in the store.
When opening an Apple ID Business Account in the USA the process will only take up to 10 days to open.

Apple store is very rigorous when opening Business accounts. They not only request new documentation but, contact your business for verification.

There is an annual 99.00 US Dollars of charge. They require an international credit card and the card holder's name must be the same as the account being created.

To open the Developer account in the Apple Store, the store itself requires that the account be opened by an Apple device. In other devices, it will not be possible. An Apple device (IOS) is required to perform the two-factor security operation. Individual Accounts with Apple only accept one admin.

Some of the latest versions of iOS and macOS require this additional information to protect your information.
