Updated on 16. April 2025 by Jan Bunk
To make your iOS app available in countries that are part of the EU, you need to tell Apple whether you're a trader or not. Follow the steps below to do that.
Open the "Business" section of App Store Connect.
Please choose what you see:
Click "Complete Compliance Requirements" in the alert box.
Now a dialog will come up where you need to choose whether or not you're a trader. Please choose the option below that describes you best.
Select that you're a trader and click "Next".
Enter your business address, phone number and e-mail address. Once you're done, click "Next".
Afterwards, you'll need to verify your e-mail address and phone number by receiving and entering a verification code.
Next, you'll need to upload a document that confirms your company name, e.g. an official registration document.
Lastly, you'll need to upload a document that confirms your company's address that you had entered in the previous steps.
Apple will verify the documents you uploaded within the next few days. Keep an eye on your e-mail inbox, because Apple will send you an e-mail in case they notice any issues.
After selecting that you're not a trader, click the "Done" button to save your status in App Store Connect.
You're all set! No further action is required, just click the button below.
