Hello,

I’m in the process of enrolling my business (Carzo Rent A Car, Prishtine, Kosovo) in the Apple Developer Program, but I have been waiting for my D-U-N-S number to be issued.

I submitted the request to Dun & Bradstreet on July 28, 2025 (Case #9142648) and have only received a system-generated email with a tracking ID (#9086421). There has been no further update.

My questions are:

Is there a way for Apple to expedite or provisionally approve my enrollment while the D-U-N-S number is pending?

How long does Apple typically wait for D&B updates before the enrollment is affected?

Are there any alternative steps I can take to avoid further delays?

Thank you for your guidance.

Wasn't that barely two days ago?

The dot com glory days of instant enrolments is over. You should be prepared to wait weeks to months for most business-related issues.

Dun & Bradstreet is actually one of the best companies in this respect. I got my DUNS number in 2015 and it took a week. I recently changed my address with them and that took about a week. Their estimate for completing the change was about a week. And they even send me a confirmation saying (in big red text) "Your updated DUNS number will be eligible for Apple Registration after 24-48 hours".

So really top-notch. Kudos to Dun & Bradstreet.

Since you are doing a new number, you may have to wait longer. And there is no guarantee that new numbers will be processed in that same 24-48 hour timeframe. And there is no guarantee about when Apple will recognize the number. I think the rumours ten year ago were two weeks. I suggest waiting a month after confirmation from Dun & Bradstreet.
