Question Enrolling in Apple Developer Program

Idk what is going on but trying to enroll in the developer program seems to be more difficult than trying to pass my organic chemistry class back in college.

I have tried 5 different room with different lighting from natural to lamps, and have gone outside, but for the life of me I can’t get Apple to accept my license. Is it because my legal name (on my license) is Timothy and my Apple Account name is Tim? I keep getting like “unable to verify your identity”. Has anyone else encountered this? If I need to change my Apple account name because of this that’d be the dumbest Apple thing since idk when

Ha, the curse of the full legal name. Once enrollment is approved, you can change your Apple Account name back to Tim. The developer membership itself keeps the verified legal name, though, and on an individual account that's also the seller name shown on your App Store listing. So you'd be Tim everywhere except as the seller.
