I recently put in a request to move from Individual to Company status for my developer account...has anyone else done this and know how long this process takes?
I'm not sure there is any migrating per se. You probably have to go through the entire developer application process for a company. They need documents that establish your corporate identity such as a Certificate of Organization. I wouldn't wait around if I were you. Get another developer application process going because it takes about a month.
Actually they have an entire process for this as this is a popular request. You call their customer service number and they can get you started 8006332152. They make you fill out a form about your company and then you wait. Problem is no one mentions how long the wait will be.
2-3 weeks ago I emailed devprograms about this, and 2 days ago received the following reply (slightly abbreviated to avoid upsetting anyone at Apple):
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Developer Connection regarding the iPhone Developer Program.
Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding to your request.
As per your request, we can arrange to switch your current enrollment from Individual to Company.
Please be aware that your access to the iPhone Developer Program Portal will be temporarily disabled while we conduct the migration from an Individual to a Company type
You will still be able to log in to the iPhone Dev Center and have access to all of the Registered iPhone Developer content on the iPhone Dev Center during the migration, but you will not have access to the iPhone Program Portal until the migration to Company type is complete.
Please also not that you may be requested to fax in business documents for your company as well.
If you would like us to migrate your enrollment to a company type then please let us know.
I searched the forum on this topic before i posted...couldn't find anything. I know message boards etiquette. I'm sure this would be useful information for others as well.
