Why do I have two iTunes Connect accounts?

When will our content begin appearing in the iTunes Stores?

Who should apply to offer content on iTunes on behalf of my company?

Someone with the legal authority to sign documents on behalf of your company should apply to offer content on iTunes. Only that individual can accept the standard iTunes contract on iTunes Connect.

Should I use my own name or my company's name as the legal name?

If you’re registered as a company, enter the legal entity name. If you’re signing up as an individual, enter your first and last name. The legal name you enter should match the name associated with your U.S. Tax ID and Tax ID type that you provide with your application.

Do I need an Apple ID to offer my movies on iTunes?

Yes, you must have an Apple ID and a current credit card on file with the iTunes Store. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you will need to create one using iTunes.

I get an error message that my name does not match the name for the Apple ID. What do I do?

Make sure that you have entered the correct Apple ID. To edit the name associated with your Apple ID, go to appleid.apple.com.

Do I need a U.S. tax ID?

Yes, a U.S. Tax ID is required as part of the iTunes Connect sign-up and authentication process. This requirement also applies to providers not based in the U.S. Request a U.S. Tax ID.

Be sure to enter your U.S. Tax ID correctly when applying. If you are prompted to complete U.S. tax forms on iTunes Connect, you must use the same U.S. Tax ID.

I already have an iTunes Connect account for a different media type. Can I use that account to deliver film?

If you are set up to deliver film using the same short name as another media type, such as music or TV, you can use the same account. However, if you have a provider short name for film that is different than the provider short name for another media type, you must use a different account. Because each iTunes Connect account is unique, the same email address can not be used twice.
