The D-U-N-S came back, and Apple said: enroll as an Individual

The D-U-N-S number arrived about 5 days after the request. I tried to finish the Apple Developer Organization enrollment, and Apple rejected MusicApps.eu as a legal entity — because a plain German Gewerbeanmeldung legally isn’t one. I enrolled as Individual instead, got approved in 30 minutes, and then spent the rest of the day grinding through the Paid Apps Agreement, DSA trader declaration, banking setup, and U.S./Brazil/Mexico tax forms. The App Store seller name will now be my personal legal name, not ‘MusicApps.eu’.

Starting the Apple Developer enrollment (and the D-U-N-S waiting room)

Started the Apple Developer Organization enrollment for MusicApps. Created a dedicated company-domain Apple ID, requested the D-U-N-S number through Apple’s built-in path (free, contained in the enrollment flow), and now wait 5–14 business days for Dun & Bradstreet to respond before the rest of the enrollment can continue.
