Hi all,
Hoping someone has hit and resolved this exact pattern, or can point me to the right escalation path.
I'm trying to enrol in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual (Bengaluru, India). The Apple Developer iOS app shows "ID Verification Rejected" under the Apple Developer Program status — but with no specific reason and no retry button. The app does not surface what was actually wrong with the verification.
What I have already done:
-
Confirmed my Apple Account name ("Adarsh P S") exactly matches my Passport and PAN card (no extra spaces, correct initials).
-
Opened Developer Support case #102900128848 — the agent replied once on 2026-05-28 asking for a screenshot, which I provided the same day. No follow-up in 3+ business days.
-
Filed a parallel case #102905434551 on 2026-06-02 explicitly referencing the first as escalation, not a duplicate.
-
Apple ID has 2FA enabled, trusted device active, billing address on file.
Questions for anyone who has gotten past this:
-
Did the verification reset come from support, or did re-attempting from the app after some delay work on its own?
-
For Indian developers — which ID type was finally accepted (Passport vs PAN)? I understand Aadhaar is not accepted per UIDAI restriction.
-
Is there a specific support topic / contact path that routes to the identity-verification team faster than "Membership and Account → Program Enrolment → Email"?
Any pointers appreciated — my iOS 26 / SwiftUI app is built, tested, CI-green, and waiting only on enrolment.
Thanks,
Adarsh P S
