Paid Apps Agreement blocked: foreign-owned single-member US LLC needs W-8BEN, but only W-9 is offered
Hello, I am the sole owner of a single-member LLC registered in Wyoming, USA. I am not a US person and I live outside the United States. For US tax purposes the LLC is a foreign-owned disregarded entity, so as I understand it the correct form is a W-8BEN in my name as the foreign owner, not a W-9. In App Store Connect, under Business > Agreements, Tax, and Banking, the tax form section only offers the W-9 because the account is set up as a US entity. Because of this I cannot complete the tax information, and the Paid Apps Agreement stays inactive. My app is ready and has in-app purchases, so I cannot submit it for review until this is resolved. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support and I am waiting for a reply. Questions: Has anyone with a foreign-owned single-member US LLC solved this? How did you submit a W-8BEN instead of a W-9? Is there a way to change the tax form type in App Store Connect, or does Apple need to change it from their side? Is there a specific contact or form for this case? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Pending for 12 Days After Payment — No Response from Support
Hello Apple Developer Support and Community, I am requesting assistance with my Apple Developer Program enrollment for my company, LUXARION LLC. It has now been 12 days since I completed the $99 membership payment, but my enrollment status is still showing as Pending. I have contacted Apple Support twice through the usual support channels, but I have not received a response or a resolution. I also contacted Apple Support through the Apple Support app, but I was redirected to the general Apple Developer Support page without a direct resolution. I am concerned because I have already paid the membership fee and still cannot access my active developer membership. Could someone from the Apple Developer Program Enrollment team please advise how I can escalate this existing enrollment and get a clear update on its status? I am not trying to submit a duplicate enrollment or make another payment. I simply need help resolving the existing pending enrollment. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Apple Developer Organization Enrollment Still Pending After Payment
Hello Apple Developer Support, I am the owner of LUXARION LLC. I paid the $99 Apple Developer Program membership fee on October 2, 2026, but my organization enrollment is still showing as Pending as of October 13, 2026. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times and opened a new support case, but I have not received a response or a resolution. My enrollment has now been pending for 11 days, and I am unable to proceed with publishing my app. Phone support is not available in my region, so I am seeking assistance through this forum. Could an Apple Developer Support representative please review my enrollment and help determine why my membership has not been activated despite payment? I can provide my enrollment details, order confirmation, and support case numbers privately through the official support channel. Thank you.
