Is anyone else having a DUNS # problem enrolling as a developer?

I have been trying to register for my non-profit organization and looked up our DUNS number, but the enrollment site won't accept it as valid. I have verified both my organization name and the DUNS # are entered exactly correct. It keeps giving me the error:


This organization could not be verified as a legal entity. If you are a sole proprietorship/single person company, enroll as an individual. If this organization should be listed as a legal entity, update your D&B profile.


When I follow the link to "update you D&B profile" I get an error page that says:


You are not eligible to request an update to your D-U-N-S information.

In order to request an update, you must be in the process of enrolling in an Apple Developer Program.


I AM in the process of enrolling in the Apple Developer Program! I have logged 3 support request calls with Apple through their "Contact Support" page - 2 for phone response, 1 for email response - and none have been responded to by Apple (despite showing a wait time of "less than 1 minute").


Has anyone else experienced this issue and know of a solution?

Same issue here as well, so frustrating and tiring. The DUNS number is valid and confirmed yet saying


"The information you entered did not match your D&B profile. Before submitting your information, look up your D&B profile. "

Despite the many earlier hurdles and prior difficulty in setting up the account and yet again these. This isn't fair of Apple to her developers and such complications isn't making life easy for us as well.
