DUNS Number for Apple Developer Program in Nigeria
Apple requires a verified D-U-N-S Number before approving any organization account on the Apple Developer Program. I help Nigerian businesses prepare and submit the application. Target delivery is about 7 business days after complete documents and initial payment.

Why Apple requires a DUNS number
When you enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an organization, Apple verifies your legal business entity against Dun & Bradstreet's database. Without a matching DUNS number, enrollment stops at the verification step.
This catches Nigerian founders mid-build: the app is ready, the team is ready, but Apple will not approve the company account until D&B has issued and propagated your number. The standard free D&B process can take weeks. Paid support here targets delivery within about 7 business days.
What you'll need
- CAC-registered company name matching your certificate
- CAC certificate and latest CAC status report
- Physical business address (no P.O. Box)
- Director name, TIN, and company contact details
- Allow 2-3 extra business days after delivery for Apple's D&B sync
Common questions
Can I use a personal Apple Developer account instead?
Yes, but apps will publish under your personal name. If you want your startup or LLC listed as the developer on the App Store, you need an organization account and therefore a DUNS number.
How long after I get my DUNS number can I enroll with Apple?
Plan for 2-3 additional business days after issuance. Apple's verification pulls from Dun & Bradstreet's live database, which can lag slightly behind the number being issued.
Does a sole proprietorship (BN) qualify?
Yes. D&B issues DUNS numbers to sole proprietorships, LLCs, and partnerships. Your CAC registration type must match what you submit.
