I applied for the Apple Developer Program on Jan 29th, but my enrollment is still pending with no updates. This delay is really affecting my project timeline since I need to start my app soon, and I can’t move forward without my account being approved.

I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but I haven’t gotten any clear response on when it will be completed. tried even calling the support line but they couldn't help with developer accounts. Has anyone else experienced similar delays? If so, how long did it take for your account to get approved?

Would appreciate any advice or insights! Thanks in advance.

I ended up calling them, and they requested that I submit a government-issued ID. I’ve already provided it through their internal system, but they still can’t give a definite approval date because they’re heavily backlogged. Honestly, the “48-hour” timeline mentioned on their website feels pretty unrealistic.

I enrolled two days ago. I haven't got any email from Apple till now regarding my membership. It's showing pending in account details. Any idea on how long it might take as I have a time line to meet.

@Namdrew which internal system you're referring to for sharing the verification ID?

The only support I can see is "Contact via Email". I suppose there is no call option for my country.
