How To Set Up an Apple ID for your Business

Creating a new Apple ID for your business

You can use an existing email address associated with your company to create an Apple ID. We recommend using an email address that multiple company members can access, such as your support or info email. If you don't have a company email address, please create one first.
Instructions are below, along with a video that walks you through step by step. 

1. Go to this page to Create Your Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com/account)

2. Enter your company email address in the form and complete the rest of the fields. This email will be your new Apple ID. Apple will send important actions or decisions regarding your app to this email. Please make sure to check your emails regularly.

3. A 6-digit verification code is sent to you via email. Enter the code in the pop-up that opens. This code will expire three hours after the email was sent. You will also be required to verify your phone number. Again, we suggest using a shared or company cell where possible. 

4. Your Apple ID has been created. Please be aware that creating an Apple ID is not the same as creating an Apple Developer account.
