Creating Your Apple Organizational Account

Introduction

An Apple Organizational Account allows businesses to access Apple’s ecosystem with centralized control, enabling them to manage apps, devices, and services under a single organization. This account is typically created through the Apple Developer Program or Apple Business Manager, depending on the use case.

What is an Apple Organizational Account?

An Apple Organizational Account is a company-level account registered with Apple using a legal business entity. Unlike individual Apple IDs, it represents your organization and provides access to Apple services with administrative control. To create this account, Apple requires:

• A registered legal entity (business or organization)
• A D-U-N-S® Number (a unique business identifier. It's easy to apply; details here)
• A company domain-based email address
• Authorization to enrol on behalf of the organization

Once approved, the account is associated with your organization rather than an individual.

Benefits of an Apple Organizational Account

• Centralized Control: Manage apps, users, and permissions under one organization.
• App Publishing: Release apps on the App Store under your company name for credibility.
• Security & Ownership: Keep all assets (apps, certificates, data) with the organization.
• Team Roles: Assign Admin, Developer, and other roles for controlled access.
• Device & App Management: Scale device management, distribute apps, and control resources via Apple Business Manager.
• Compliance: Meet Apple’s business verification and enterprise requirements.
