I don't know if it is correct to ask this question here, but I'm sure that many of you know the answer. Currently I'm in the process of applying for Apple iOS Developer Program. I filled in the Purchase Form, but I could find the Apple Developer Program Enrollment ID. I found just Individual ID, Person ID(that I used in the Purchase Form) and Company ID(don't know what it means, because I'm registered as Individual Developer).
Question: Where can I find Apple Developer Program Enrollment ID?
Thanks in advance!
It's the iTunes Store Account (Apple ID) that you will use to login in the Developer portal. If you already have one use that, if no, then create one http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Why do you need the Apple Developer Program Enrollment ID?
I also tried to apply to the iOS Developer Program this weekend.
I applied, I paid and I got my activation codes. But then when I tried to activate with my Apple ID I got an error saying (in my case) they "were not able to successfully verify my identity". In that error message there was an Enrollment ID# consisting of both letters and numbers, a total of 10 characters, that I was supposed to include when contacting the support regarding this issue.
I have not seen the same Enrollment ID somewhere else in the process and therefore I assume it is some kind of internal ID for my signing up process and you should only see it/use it when you hit some problems during the process.
I had the same problem -- in a call to their customer support they said it was because my Apple ID was under my nickname, "Jim", but the developer info I entered was "James". They said a human eventually reviews these blocks, but that can take time. Just be sure to try and use the exact same info.

I have created an application for my customer. We have published the application with my account. Now, they want to change the developer name as their company's name. Is there a way to change the developer name? Can I move my application to their business account so that Developer name changes to their business name?
Yes, you can transfer the app to other since WWDC 2013.
Also, you can call the Apple Support to change the Seller Name.
Here is a video about this: App Transfer Tutorial.
My apps initially appeared in the App Store with the wrong seller name. I don't personally own a credit card, so a family member who did paid my developer subscription. While my correct name appeared elsewhere, under Seller it showed the name from the credit card. I used one of the contact options in iTunes Connect to request a name change, which was applied within a few days.
On the current Contact page, the Contracts and Legal category includes Request Name/Address update. Try that.
You'll certainly find it easier to rename your account than to move the app to a different account. Here's what they say about that.
I sold my app to another developer and can no longer distribute it on the App Store. Can I transfer the app to the new developer's iTunes Connect account?
No, you can’t transfer the app to another developer account on iTunes Connect. To add the app to another account, remove the app from the current account and upload it to the new iTunes Connect account.
Note that uploading the app to a new iTunes Connect account will disable current customers from receiving automatic and free updates of your application. All customer reviews, rating, and ranking information will be reset. You will not be able to reuse the app name and SKU in the old account. If you have uploaded a binary or used the app with the iAd Network, your Bundle ID will not be reusable either.
This is only applicable for the part of the OP's question:
Is there a way to change the developer name?
The most simple way I found to CHANGE the developer name was by filling out a request on this page:
Contact Us Page
Then select from the option:
Enrollment, Membership, and Account -> Account Updates and Renewals
I just told them which names I would like to user, First name and surnaame.
Here is Apple Support email regarding same question;
As an individual you cannot change your first and last name, you can
only have your legal name appear in the App store. I can suggest to
you to enroll as a company, witch would mean you can use your company
name instead of your own name, but first you would need to check that
you meet our initial migration requirements:
You are a founder or cofounder of your company.
Your company does not already hold an active or expired company membership.
Your company does not operate as a sole proprietorship, DBA, fictitious name, trade name, or branch.
If you have paid apps, you have agreed to the latest Paid Applications contract in Agreements, Tax, and Banking in iTunes
Connect.
You are eligible to obtain a DUNS Number for your company: https://developer.apple.com/support/D-U-N-S.
If it is the case and you meet our requirements please feel free to
contact us again so we can migrate your account into a company.
If you need to transfer your app to another developer account, that is now possible. Since WWDC 2013, iTunes Connect now supports transferring apps from one developer to another, keeping exactly this situation in mind. Go to the iTunes Connect homepage for more information. There is also a video tutorial that Apple has provided on this matter.
Personally I wanted to changed my real first & last name to a company/brand name, having an individual account. That's what, as of 2020, Apple's support says:
"Developers enrolled as individuals will sell apps on the App Store using their personal legal name. There are two ways to change your name to a company name:
Have your company enroll in its own Apple Developer Program membership, and then transfer your apps to that membership.
Migrate your membership from an individual to an organization."
I have an "Apple ID" (which I assume is Apple's way of saying "account") that is associated with two iPhone Developer Programs as a team member. I'm trying to add a personal Developer Program subscription using this same Apple ID. I found this answer here, which implies that it should/may be possible (some of the comments seem to contradict the accepted answer):
Multiple accounts on iPhone Developer Program
So I went and paid my $99 using my current Apple ID. I got an "Order Acknowledgement" e-mail from Apple shortly after placing the order. If I follow the order status link in the e-mail, my order shows up as being "Electronically Delivered". However, when I log into the Apple developer portal, I am not given the option to choose my personal subscription. I can only choose between the two companies at which I am a team member.
So my questions are:
Is the question cited above correct in that I should be able to do what I am trying to do?
Does Apple send any communication after the "Order Acknowledgement" message, or is that all I should expect to get?
How am I supposed to log into my personal subscription?
Give it a little time. I don't think the 'order acknowledgement' means that the account has been created or is ready to use. It can take 24 hours before the account is created, perhaps longer over a weekend. So, wait at least 24 hours from when you submitted the application before you get too worried. BTW, the "electronically delivered" bit just means that they're not going to ship anything to you with this purchase.
You can check the status of your application in the iOS developer portal. Look for the "Check the status of your pending iOS Developer Program enrollment" link in the right hand column.
If the issue doesn't resolve itself after a day or two, contact Apple's developer support group: you can reach them by phone at 800-633-2132.
To address your question specifically:
Yes, you can definitely use the same AppleID to be a member of several development teams. However, a single AppleID can only be in the "team agent" role for a single account. If you're the agent for your company, you'll need to create a different AppleID for your personal account. (You'll know if it you're the agent -- you'll have to accept changes to Apple's developer agreement on behalf of your company every time they change it, which is at least several times each year.)
Yes, I believe you'll receive additional communication when your account is ready, or if there's any problem in creating your account.
Once your personal account is set up, you'll have to choose which development team you're using each time you log into the developer portal.
I want to register as an IPhone developer(company;s account) so i followed all steps to create it .... after 3 days i got following mail

I have not understand a line ---- Please fax one of the following forms of identity for your business...what forms they are talking about...
please help
It is a strangely-worded letter, but I'd guess they're asking for your company's Articles of Incorporation as submitted to your state's registrar, or some similar documentation your company has received from your state's registrar indicating your corporate status. Assuming you're in the US.
It seems that you have applied for the enterprise developer license. You would have to submit your company registration documents and post verification of them by Apple, you'd be given the license. The enrollment number is the number that have been given to you when you filled up the form for license.
I am writing a paid app for the store which gives you a 1 year subscription to some content.
This means I need to store on my web service db, when the user first launches the application some kind of unique user id (Apple ID?), along with the date. I can then do validation to check if the subscription is still valid.
I can see how to get a UDID but that's not really very good if they want to install it on another device with their existing iTunes account.
I would rather not make the user have to enter in an identifier themselves.
Keep in mind that the user may very easily change the apple id he or she is using on the device. He may even allow others (familiy members...) to use the same apple id. I wouldn't share mine, but there is no technical barrier for others to do so.
I can easily imagine apple not approving an app making such use of the users apple id, for this and a number of other reasons.
Having said this, I know of no way to retrieve it anyway.
Either tie the subscription to the UDID (and allow the user to migrate it later) or create some sort of accounts the users may log in to. I don't see a way around this...
I am looking into the iPhone in app purchased models and need to implement a subscription. Ex content will be available for 24 hours. Now the most important thing is that it needs to be available on all the other devices, so bought on the iPhone, viewable on the iPad. I'm not sure how this works ? I need to store some information on the developer server but is this the transaction id and current date/time so when launching the app on the iPad, you will attempt to buy the content again. Apple will see that this user already bought that and hopefully returns the transaction ID. At that moment I can verify if the time limit it still valid or not.
Can anyone confirm this method off working?
If this is correct is there a 'renew'?
Correct me if I am wrong.
You just need to store the "receipt-data", don't need to store transaction id and current date/time. Obviously you have to create the kind of product as "subscriptions", this will ensure that the purchased product is shared on all user's devices.
