Unable to enroll into the Apple Developer Program

I'm trying to enroll in this program but keep getting rejection stating

"A valid organization website is required to enroll in the program. Your organization’s website must be publicly available and the domain name must be associated with your organization."

They dont share any other details apart from this. When i called them, they repeating the same line.

I have even tested my website in geopeeker and its valid and accessible everywhere.Its registered under GoDaddy.

Anyone faced this issue before.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.2

That appears to be from the "Organizations" area of the Apple Developer enrolment page: Enrollment - Support - Apple Developer

If you are enrolling as an organization, then you will already have a DUNS number. That's Apple's Developer Gospel. Everything should match the information displayed under your DUNS number.

I recommend turning off any privacy settings for your organization's domain name. I don't know if that is what Apple is specifically referring to, but it's pointless. Due to recent EU DMA requirements, Apple is going to show your organization's address and phone number. May as well make sure they all match and are publicly available.

You seem to be focused on your website's actual availability. Ironically enough, Apple doesn't seem to care if your website actually works or not, or actually has any privacy policies or support functionality. Verifying that information would require human intervention, so it makes sense that Apple isn't going to check every one. But you DUNS and WHOIS information can all be collected automatically, so Apple's definitely going to check that.
