Wow, I'll spare you all the rant, but this is just ridiculous.


In order to get registered I had to slightly modify the approach recommended here (editing the form via Inspect Element). This works for US based registrations only.


When modifying the form you need to be concerned with two elements: country and state. After finding the country element with Inspect Element, modify the value to be US.


You will then need to modify the state. However, the system is expecting a state code, not a state abbreviation. Here are the codes. For example, if your state is New Jersey, change the value of the state option to 649. Good luck.


614 = Alabama

615 = Alaska

621 = America Samoa

616 = Arizona

617 = Arkansas

618 = Armed Forces Americas

619 = Armed Forces Europe

620 = Armed Forces Pacific

622 = California

623 = Colorado

624 = Connecticut

625 = Delaware

626 = District of Columbia

627 = Florida

628 = Georgia

629 = Guam

630 = Hawaii

631 = Idaho

632 = Illinois

633 = Indiana

634 = Iowa

635 = Kansas

636 = Kentucky

637 = Louisiana

638 = Maine

639 = Maryland

640 = Massachusetts

641 = Michigan

642 = Minnesota

643 = Mississippi

644 = Missouri

645 = Montana

646 = Nebraska

647 = Nevada

648 = New Hampshire

649 = New Jersey

650 = New Mexico

651 = New York

652 = North Carolina

653 = North Dakota

654 = Ohio

655 = Oklahoma

656 = Oregon

659 = Pacific Islands

657 = Palau

658 = Pennsylvania

661 = Rhode Island

662 = South Carolina

663 = South Dakota

664 = Tennessee

665 = Texas

667 = United States Federal

666 = Utah

668 = Vermont

669 = Virgin Islands

670 = Virginia

671 = Washington

672 = West Virginia

673 = Wisconsin

674 = Wyoming

Applied to individual registration only. (as far my own experience)

Step 1:-

Go to the developer registration using Chrome.

Step 2:-

Do Inspect Element. (right-click on page and select Inspect Element)

Step 3:-

Change the country value to "text" (in html) and then enter your country (in form).

3.1:- Also, change the Text "Select State" to the state you're part of If your selected country (in step 3) is United State.

Step 4:-

Just proceed normally in your form and you will be able to get through this error. 🙂

I also got the same problem and called Apple support but need time for this.

Then I saw the replies by some people here which said to update state/country,

and once I updated Shipping and/or billing address from appleid.apple.com, the problem was solved.


You may try if you have same problem.


Thanks guys here for telling me the workaround soln.
