DUNS Number Not Accepted READ THIS

I've got same problem on DUNS number. Once I asked Apple Developer Program Support, they told us that my company name listed on my enrollment doesn't match the information provided by D&B and they were unable to determine the legal entity type of my company because the D&B profile is incomplete. They also gave a link to complete the D&B profile, but it's only for company located in US which was not suitable for my company that is located in Indonesia.

I still don't get how am I supposed to do to get this DUNS number accepted & registration fulfilled. I've tried your trick by giving space at the end of my company name. I wrote "ABC, PT " but still, it didn't work.

Could you help me by giving some example on how your trick will work? 🙂

Thanks very much for the helpful post. We are having similar issues, how did you get someone on the phone? Would you mind posting the number so I can give them a call?

UPDATE: Got this sorted out (I think). Highly recommend using the Apple DUNS Lookup to generate an enrollment email.

You still need a DUNS number, but at least that ensures the Apple-side verification will go smoothly. It's quick and you get an answer right away.

This is a complete rip off. We've had a DUNS number for a GSA contract without problems but even during those times DUNS representatives were always trying to con us into paying them money for things we do not need. Now they claim we need to provide evidence of our corporate entities form when attempting to get an apple developer account. What is Apple thinking ? Do they realize how pathetic and annoying dealing with DNB is ?

OMG! We just had the same problem. Added a space to the end of the Entity Name, and now good to go!

Facing same issue

I am sure with organization id and DUNS number , Still Apple does not accept it

Adding a space at the end of the Legal Entity Name did not help us.

In short the Apple Developer Program Enrollment is flawed. Our company has been enrolled with both ASIC and Dunn & Bradstreet since 2007. The last two weeks we have twice now confirmed with D & B all our details are correct in accordance with our DUNS and still we are getting the same error "This organization could not be verified as a legal entity."

This is an absolutely rubbish enrollment program by Apple! By comparison were able to seamlessly enroll as a developer with Google Play in 15 minutes!

We have the same problem: Apple says that my legal entity is sole propertior and they cannot register me as a company. I know that sole propertiors from my country could do this in 2015. Is something changed in apple since that time ? Does anybody know how can I register as company in apple dev program when I`m sole propertior ? Is this still possible ? Maybe should I create personal account and convert it to company account ? Or maby just put my company name before my first name in personal account and leave it just like that ?
