Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck under review

Hi everyone

I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual, but my enrollment has been stuck under review for two weeks and I still have no clear answer from Apple Support.

This is exactly what is happening:

On the Apple Developer website, when I try to continue enrollment, I see a message saying that my enrollment is under review and that I should contact support.

In App Store Connect, I do not have access.

In the Apple Developer app, the “Enroll Now” option is unavailable for my Apple Account.

I already contacted Apple Support twice about this, but I still have not received a useful response, and I do not understand what is blocking my enrollment.

As far as I can tell, everything on my side is correct:

my personal details are correct

my payment method is valid

I am signed in to iCloud

two-factor authentication is enabled

my Apple Account is active and accessible

So at this point I do not understand what I am missing or what I am supposed to fix.

Has anyone had the same issue before?

Is there anything else I should check on my side?

And is there any way to get Apple Developer Support to actually review or escalate this case?

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Apple has an internal organizational demarcation between users and user forms and user support, and third-party developers and developer forums and developer support. This is the user side of that demarcation, and is a user-focused forum. There are rather fewer developers around here.

Here is the developer program forum:

Apple Developer Program | Apple Developer Forums

Developer enrollments (and app store submissions) can sometimes take days or months, depending on submission-specific factors, and Apple-internal factors not immediately obvious to outsiders. First app submissions usually take longer, too.

Payments and contact issues can be an issue for enrollment requests, as contact info and major payment cards are seemingly used as part of a verification process and seeming as a background check of sorts.

If you want an official answer, you’ll need to continue with Apple Developer support.

Questions such as this are something that only Apple can answer.
