Can't enroll in Apple Developer Program

I have signed into the member center with my Apple ID, but when I go My Account > Membership > Enroll Now > Start Your Enrollment, it tells me "Sorry, you can't enroll at this time" without giving me a reason.


I have created a simple 2D game that I want to put on the app store but it isn't letting me sign up.

I'm 14 and I'm wondering if this could be the problem - is there a minimum age requirement?

iPad Mini, iOS 8.4.1

If you are under 18, but at least 13, you are allowed to use an Apple developer account created by a parent or guardian, under their supervision. This is the relevant text from the Registered Apple Developer Agreement:


Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions in this Section 1, if you are the parent or legal guardian of individuals between the ages of 13 and the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may allow such individuals to share your Apple ID and password for their use solely under your supervision and only in accordance with this Agreement. You are responsible for such individuals’ compliance with and violations of this Agreement and any other Apple agreements.
