I did below for submitting TAX -
Submitted "NO" on - Are you a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, U.S. partnership, or U.S. corporation?
Submitted "NO" on - Do you have any U.S. Business Activities?
on Next Page I am unable to change following details:
1.Individual or Organization Name &
2. Country of incorporation & 3. Permanent Residence
please help me on how can I modify these because the information in above colums is not correct. I need to change them, where does apple picks up these informations.
My applications is complete and I am stuck because of just this single step.
Thanks in advance
This isn't as easy as it should be, but if you have already entered tax information and wish to change it, you have to make a request to Apple via email, and they will tell you exactly what forms you'll have to fill out. I recently went through this (in the U.S.) to convert my personal account into a business account, and I'd imagine the process will be similar for you.
The Permanent Residence panel on the tax forms is not editable because it uses information from Dun & Bradstreet. It has the address when you originally requested a DUNS number
I suspect the other two details also come from the D&B record. If all three are wrong you may have the wrong DUNS details linked to your Apple ID.
You need to contact them directly - I just went through this on the phone with Apple Developer support and was advised to directly email appdeveloper#dnb.com

If I have a personal developer account in Apple Developer , can I submitting my app by nickname not my real name?
If you want to change the Copyright you can do it easily by yourself.
Otherwise the easiest way to change your seller name is to:
Contact Apple developer support. If there is a typo or inaccuracy in
your seller name they should be willing to change it. Back before I
released Card Share my individual account had a seller name for a
fictitious entity that did not exist. Since it wasn’t my legal name,
Apple support was willing to make the name change. I contacted support
and within 24 hours my seller name was changed and updated in the App
Store. The results from this method may vary, but I highly recommend
direct communication with Apple as a first approach.

Yes
Choose whichever name you want.
I am working on Integrating Apple Pay in my app. I need following details to post to api :
1. Name on the card,
2. last 4 four digits,
3. type of card (VISA, AMEX etc)
Is there a way to retrieve those from the card selected by user in Apple Pay tray ?
You cannot get the name on the card via ApplePay. This is one of the reasons why a lot of merchants have resisted it. But Apple did this to protect users' privacy: you should be able to buy something without telling someone your name. If someone doesn't know your name then how can they identity fraud you?
If you want the customer's name, ask them, or have employees check their ID and require that the name be entered into the system. If you can't be asked to bother asking the customer to identify themselves, then, since the customer has not voluntarily given you their name, why do you deserve to have it?
I would like to add new version for my application in itune, but Apple asked me to fill App Review Information with info like name, email ,tel number.
I wonder if this details will be visible to users of itune/appstore, or it just for Apple.
The "App Review Information" is strictly for Apple. Users will never see that information. The data is there so Apple can contact you if there is a problem found while reviewing your app.
I don't believe so. Typically I've seen an LLC or maybe a developers name, but as far as contact information goes, I have not seen that. Perhaps providing a way for users to contact the developer though would be handy to receive, and subsequently implement feedback.
This question isn't really a programming question, so it doesn't exactly belong on Stack Overflow, so I apologise for that in advance, but there seem to be many questions like this round here, as there are many iPhone devs around here...
Is there anyone who has recently (like within the last 3 months) registered an Individual Apple Developer account? When you first logged into iTunes Connect, did it provide you with the opportunity to set the artist or ‘company’ name that appears above your app in the store (in search results, etc.), that isn't your legal name?
EDIT
Previously with an individual account, your legal name appeared as the seller, however, you could set any name you wished to appear as the company name, but you could not change it afterwards. However, as corban said below, it is now apparently not possible to set a company name for an individual account, so if you want a company name, you will have to register a company account (and do all the related legal crap).
Yes, even with an individual account you are allowed to set a company/artist name when you create your first app in itunesconnect. This can be different from your legal name.
The legal name (with which you registered as a developer) comes up as the "Seller" of the app (below the app icon, in small print, in iTunes) whereas the artist/developer name is the name you enter in iTunesconnect and what shows up on the top in iTunes.
Apple has removed the possibility to add a company/artist name for an individual account. There are some discussions in the apple forums about that. I hope that there will be a possibility to add one.
I've had a look around SO and Google but can't find a definite and specific answer, maybe it's supposed to be obvious!
But, I haven't submitted an app to the store before so when I went to add one through iTunes Connect, the first thing it says is
Specify the company or developer name to display on the App Store for your apps.
The company name cannot be changed, so be sure to enter the correct name.
Now, does setting that company name apply to ALL apps I upload after setting it or does it ask you this question and let you set it every time you add a new app?
If it sets it for all apps, does it have to match the company name I've used to register my iOS developer account with? When I created the account I gave the name Company Ltd, so would I strictly have to use Company Ltd when setting the company name to be displayed on the App Store?
Many thanks.
Normally the company name will (and can) not change after it is set (well they can do it but they request a load of legal papers and stuff).
However, if you indeed run a company that should not matter and you should already know what you are doing. You have to be careful though, as if you pretend to be a company and you are not (e.g. as individual developer), you might run into legal issues which can cause some trouble to say the least (even if you "only" plan to release free apps).
In iTunes Connect, when you add a new application, they specify :
"[...] name to display on the App Store for your app*s* [...]"
apps is plural, so it means it's for all this account's apps.
You cannot do it online, you have to request apple to do is, by calling them.
To request a migration of your individual developer membership to a company developer membership, first make sure that you meet our initial migration requirements:
You have an active individual developer program membership.
Your company does not operate as a sole proprietorship, DBA, fictitious name, trade name, or branch.
You are a founder or cofounder of your company.
You have authority to bind your company to Apple Developer Program agreements.
Your company does not already hold an active or expired company membership.
If you have paid apps, you have agreed to the latest Paid Apps contract in the Contracts, Tax, and Banking module of iTunes Connect.
You are able to obtain a DUNS number for your company: https://developer.apple.com/support/D-U-N-S.
If you do not meet our migration requirements, you may use a separate Apple ID to enroll your company in an Apple Developer Program.
To proceed with your migration request, contact apple by phone (https://developer.apple.com/contact/phone) or send them an email with the following information:
Confirm that you meet the initial migration requirements listed above.
Provide the name of the company to which you would like to migrate your individual membership.
After your information has been reviewed and accepted, they will send you an email with instructions for completing the migration. During this process, you will be unable to access the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles portal.
If you need to update your individual bank information, do so before you start the company migration.
Hope this helps.
