South African founder of a US-based company trying to enroll for development account

Hi guys,


I'm one of the founder of a US-based company. Note I am South African and currently reside in South Africa.


The objective is to enroll on behalf of our organization and not as an individual.


Though I am forced to first verify my identity, which I get - the issue is, I'm obviously using the company credit card (US-based) to pay the subscription, so when I scan my Passport (also tried ID card eventually), to verify my identity, I am rejected with the following message: "Your identity couldn't be verified because the ID you submitted isn't accepted for the region or doesn't match the document type you selected. Please try again."


  1. I did select the correct document type for the document I scanned


My Passport is South African, yet the bank card is USA, which leads me to believe this is the issue.


How do I go about this? Surely Apple caters for foreign business owners?
