Any way to change the App Store display name?

jowa44 · 07-13-2011, 01:15 PM

Hi everyone,

So, I've been developing in a team with my brother, but then he got a job as a Windows programmer and now I'm the only one.
I'd like to change my name now because it doesn't make any sense to call yourself 'Wanner Brothers' if you're alone. And also, I'd like to be more flexible.
So, what now? How do I change the App Store display name? Do I have to create a new Apple ID and buy a new developer account and go through that whole thing again? Or is there any other way?

Thanks!

Contact Apple - there is a simple procedure to get this done without a new account. Takes about 3 - 7 days once you submit the proper doc.

Hi BioBuff,
I try to find an authorized person, but I can not find. My released applications company name must be changed. I have a company enrollment. It is possible or not. I send lots of mail to apple, but nobody response my request. How can I change my company name (artist name).

Isn't it possible to migrate from a company account to an individual?

I have never done it, but I did read about it here and that is the info I gave you. Search "Changing developer account name" and it should bring up a couple threads.
