Step 1: Choose the Right Account Type
Before you sign up, you’ll need to decide if you need an Individual Account or an Organization Account. Picking the right one will help avoid delays later on.
Individual Account
Who is it for?
This is for solo business owners (sole traders), people running a business alone, or anyone without a registered company.How will your app look?
Your personal name will show below your app name in the App Store.What else should I know?
You cannot add extra users to your account.
You cannot use an Individual Account for apps about finances or healthcare unless they are mostly educational. If your app covers these areas, you’ll need an Organization Account.
Organization Account
Who is it for?
This is for registered companies (like an LLC or Ltd), charities, schools, and other official organizations.How will your app look?
Your company or organization name will appear below your app name in the App Store.What else should I know?
You can add team members/users to help manage your app.
Needed for any app about finances or healthcare.
The process takes longer—sometimes up to two weeks—because Apple checks your company details.
What do I need for an Organization Account?
A public website for your company.
Your business must be officially registered.
Your company name must match your official tax ID.
The person signing up needs to have permission to make agreements for your company.

Step 2: Enroll in the Apple Developer Program
You’ll need to pay Apple a yearly fee of $99 to join the program. (Charities may be able to apply for a fee waiver.)
Follow these simple steps:
1. Set Up an Apple ID
If you already have an Apple ID for your business, skip to the next step.
Otherwise, create a new Apple ID here just for your business.
Enter your business or account holder details.
Set up two-factor authentication (Apple will guide you).
2. Start Your Enrollment
Go to Apple’s enrollment page.
Scroll down and click Start Your Enrollment.
Log in with your business Apple ID and complete any security steps.
3. Enter Your Details
Fill in your information as the Account Holder.
Choose your account type: Individual or Organization.
If you pick Organization, you’ll need to enter your company name and D-U-N-S number (use Apple’s lookup tool if needed).
If you don’t have a D-U-N-S number, Apple can help you apply—this may take up to 10 business days.
Confirm you have authority to sign agreements for your company.
4. Accept Apple’s Terms and Pay
Review and accept the terms and conditions.
Pay the annual fee (consider setting up auto-renewal so you don’t forget next year).
5. Complete Setup
Once you’re enrolled, you can log in to App Store Connect and start setting up your app or connect your Apple Developer Account to SupaPass.
Keeping Your Membership Active (Renewal)
Don’t let your account expire! Apple charges $99 per year. They’ll send you a reminder about a month before your renewal date. It is the account holder's responsibility to keep the membership active; if it expires, your apps will be removed from the App Store until the membership is reinstated.
To renew:
Open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone and follow the prompts, or
Log in to App Store Connect and follow the renewal banner, or
Sign in to your Apple Developer account online and renew there.
If your account has already expired, you may need to update your payment details before renewing.
Tip💡To simplify the process, you can enable auto-renewal in your Apple ID account settings.
