Apple requires each event app to be published under the Apple Developer Account owned by the event. One of the benefits is that Apple is able to differentiate your official app from unofficial ones, and they can protect your brand in case of any copyright issues.

The creation of a Professional (Corporate) Apple Developer Account with the name of the company that will be displayed in the App Store can take up to 30 days.

Here’s what you’ll need to enroll

Legal Entity Status
To enroll in a developer program, your organization must be a legal entity so it can enter legal agreements with Apple. Apple will not accept DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, or branches. The legal entity name must correspond to the tax ID you plan to use and will appear as the “seller” for apps you may distribute on the App Store and Mac App Store. Example: Seller: ABC Company, Inc.

• A D-U-N-S® Number
Your organization must have a D-U-N-S® Number so that Apple can verify your organization’s identity and legal entity status. These unique nine-digit numbers are assigned by Dun & Bradstreet and are widely used as standard business identifiers. You can check to see if your organization already has a D-U-N-S® Number and request one if necessary. They are free in most jurisdictions.

• D-U-N-S Number Lookup
• Look up your D-U-N-S NUMBER

• The Authority to Sign Legal Agreements
As the person enrolling your organization in a developer program, you must have the legal authority to bind your organization to legal agreements. You must be the organization’s owner/founder, executive team member, senior project lead, or have legal authority granted to you by a senior employee.

 • An Apple ID protected with the Two-Factor Authentication
Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication. With two-factor authentication, you’ll need a verification code to sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser. Find more information on the two-factor authentication on this page. Please note that the Two-factor authentication is available to iCloud and iTunes users with at least one device that's using the latest iOS or macOS. Learn more.
