So my apple account was rejected ...
-
I registered an apple account with the help of my aunt from the netherlands (holland), because my home country, Egypt, is not supported. After i sent them a scan from her photo Id, i got this: "I can confirm that we have received your Photo ID. After reviewing your ID, I noticed that the Photo ID you sent in was not notarized. Additionally, the ID is not in a language that is currently supported." So my question is: My aunt is dutch and her photo Id is in dutch, how the heck am i supposed to get them an Id in a "supported language" :wtf: ?! Also, does anyone here how to get a notarized copy in the netherlands, because my aunt doesn't know ?!

If you scan this[^] photo instead, you'll have a better chance of acceptance I think. :) A notarized copy means to me that someone of a public and official designation has signed the photo. For example a judge, or possibly a lawyer can do this. Here in North America there is a designation, Notary Public, that does just this sort of thing. It also costs money. :)

International Passport? But more to the point, why do you have to send them an ID? In the EU it's not even legal for a private company to require a copy of your identity card (they can 'request' one, but you're free to show an alternative as long as it doesn't contain fraudulent information, there should be no problem). So basically, you can make one in Photoshop or send them your karate-dojo membership card or something along those lines. :laugh:

Surely, your aunt living in that country would have a better shot at figuring that out than random people on a programming forum?

I was hoping there would be developers from Europe here who had the same experience!

Interesting, Apple obviously contains a lot of idiots. Of course look at the people who buy apple products.

Why don't you ask your aunt to register the account in her name (*) and after that you use can use it ? (*) I assume she is a dutch citizen.

I can hardly believe you're required to send a scan of a photo id. That verifies NOTHING. Are you sure it isn't a scam site?
Yes i'm sure its not a scam site, its apple.com! "Please upload a notarized or solicitor certified copy of your government issued photo identification." I copied that from the email i received from apple, explaining why my enrollment to the apple development program is on hold.

I did register it in her name of course! I uploaded a scanned copy of her id but it was rejected. Apparently she has to go the city hall (or whatever they call it in the Netherlands), to get it notarized.

Apple is probably checking that you are registering from an Egyptian ISP, and will refuse the registration based on that, and when you tried to use you dutch aunt ID the system might think you are trying to steal the identity of someone else (different country, different names ... ) I was suggesting that SHE, herself register from the netherlands (dutch/european ISP) and you can use her account.

Very Good point! Maybe that's the reason they wanted the Id in the first place. Anyway it seems the only way to proceed now is for here to go to the city hall to get the copy notarized. Thanks for the pointer!

I seriously doubt Apple gives a damn about any of this. I suspect government(s) and politics are involved.

1. I'm betting Apple itself doesn't give a damn about any of this. I'm betting government(s) and politics are involved. 2. Why are you such a vocal Apple hater? Buy their products or don't. Sheesh! 3. Really? Now you're insulting people that buy Apple products? Don't be a douche!

Not usually. Most banks (probably all actually) have a notary and will do it at no charge assuming you have an account with them. Since it is next to impossible to go through life with out a bank account everyone should have access to a notary. Also, most places of work have a few people that are registered notaries. Just ask around your office (if you work in one). And beyond that I am guessing that most cities of a decent size have access to a free notary at a city office. Although in those cases it is likely you will wait in line because the notary likely has other duties (e.g. taking your DMV picture or something that always has a long line). Either way it should not cost. I have had many things notarized and I have never paid a penny to have it done.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
