D-U-N-S® Number for Businesses

To enroll in Apple and Google Developer Programs as a business or organization, you must provide a D-U-N-S® (Data Universal Numbering System) number. This unique nine-digit identifier, issued by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), verifies your business’s legal identity.

Note: A D-U-N-S® number is not required for Sole Proprietors, DBAs, or Individual accounts.

Step 1: Check for an Existing D-U-N-S® Number

Before applying, check if your business already has a D-U-N-S® number:

Go to the D-U-N-S® Number Lookup Tool
Select "My Company" from the dropdown menu.
Enter your business details using one of the available search options.

If an existing D-U-N-S® number is found:

Click "Email D-U-N-S Number" to receive the details.
Enter your name and email to receive the information.

If no D-U-N-S® number is found:

Click "Get a New D-U-N-S Number" to start the request process.
Select "I have a U.S.-Based Business" and proceed with the application.

Step 2: Request a New D-U-N-S® Number

If your business does not have a D-U-N-S® Number, follow these steps:

Go to the Dun & Bradstreet website
Click “Get Started Now.”
Under "I have a U.S.-based business," click “Get Started.”

Business Verification & Application Process:

Enter your business ZIP code & business name to search for an existing D-U-N-S® Number.
In the dropdown menu, select “I don’t see my business.”
Select the free membership package (paid options are unnecessary).
Create a MyD&B Account by entering your first and last name & email.
Click “Next” and check your inbox for a verification code.
Follow the instructions in the email to verify your account.
Once signed in, complete the D-U-N-S® Number Request form:
