Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck for several days – payment never attempted

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual, but my enrollment seems to be stuck.

Here’s my situation:

Apple Account region: UK
Payment method: UK Visa card
Enrolling through the Apple Developer website
I completed the enrollment and received the email saying that processing may take up to 2 business days.
It’s now been several days, but nothing has changed.
The payment has never been attempted. My bank has not received any authorization request from Apple, and no money has left my account.

Has anyone experienced this before?

If so:

How long did it take to resolve?
Did it eventually go through on its own, or did you have to contact Apple Developer Support?
Was there anything you did that fixed the issue?

I’m trying to understand whether this is a common delay or whether my enrollment is stuck.

Thanks!

Hi delciogio,

welcome to this Apple (user-to-user) community!

Sorry no-one has attempted to answer your questions as yet:

There are forums especially for developers:

Apple Developer Forums

There is info: for new accounts / new developers:

Register for free:

Apple Developer Pathway - Apple Developer

Apple provides a support website for developers:

See: Support - Apple Developer

There is Help with Developer Account:

Account - Help - Apple Developer

Perhaps something above may be helpful to you.

All the best :-)

We see a few similar complaints a month here about registration. Apple does not participate here and there is nothing we can do since Apple separated its developer forums from these consumer user-to-user forums. We are not Apple, can cannot say what happened.

In addition to the developer support and account link brbo provided, you can leave website feedback using this link:

Apple Website Feedback

Use the first option:
