Unable to start Apple Developer Program enrollment — same error with two different Apple Accounts

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual, but I cannot even start the enrollment process.

When I go to developer.apple.com/account and click “Enroll today”, I immediately get:

Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.

The error appears immediately after clicking “Enroll today”, before I reach the enrollment form, payment, or identity verification.

What I’ve already checked

  • Apple Account is a regular personal account
  • Two-factor authentication is enabled
  • Legal first and last name are correct
  • Date of birth is correct
  • Trusted phone number is verified
  • Country/Region: Serbia
  • Valid Serbian residential address
  • Serbian payment method and billing address
  • Successfully registered as a free Apple Developer

The most interesting part is that I reproduced the exact same problem with two different Apple Accounts.

The first account is my existing Apple Account. I then created a completely new Apple Account, configured it with the same Serbian personal and billing information, registered it as a free Apple Developer, and tried to enroll — the exact same error appears immediately.

Developer app

I also checked the Apple Developer app.

The Enroll Now button is disabled and the app says:

“Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/.”

So currently:

Web: Enroll today → immediate error Developer app: Enrollment unavailable for this Apple Account

I have also contacted Apple Developer Support, but I haven’t received a response.

Has anyone in Serbia recently been able to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual?

Has anyone encountered this exact combination of:

  • immediate error after clicking “Enroll today” on the web;
  • Developer app enrollment unavailable;
  • the same issue reproduced with multiple Apple Accounts?

I’m trying to determine whether this is an account eligibility issue, a Serbia-specific issue, or a current backend/enrollment problem.

Any information from someone who recently enrolled from Serbia would be especially helpful.

Thank you!

Developer Support is currently experiencing higher than normal volume but reviewing your case that you have opened, they will get back to you soon.
