What is a D-U-N-S number, and why does my company need one?
Apple requires that your company be verified as a legal entity before you can create an Apple Developer Account and publish your Branded App. Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) is a third-party verification source that issues a D-U-N-S number — a unique identifier for your business within the global Dun & Bradstreet network that acts as a digital certificate.
Locate your existing D-U-N-S number
-
If your company is based in the United States , use the D-U-N-S Number Lookup tool to find out if your company has an existing D-U-N-S number, or reach out to D&B directly.
-
If your company is outside the United States , visit the D-U-N-S International website to choose your country or region, then search for your company.
Apply for a new D-U-N-S number
If you've searched on the D&B website and determined that your company doesn't already have a D-U-N-S number, you must register for one. D&B asks for the following information during registration:
-
Legal entity name
-
Headquarters address
-
Mailing address
-
Your work contact information
After requesting a D-U-N-S Number, plan to wait up to 14 business days to receive your number from D &B. You can pay D&B a fee for a 5-day turnaround on your D-U-N-S Number, though we recommend allowing for the full 14 days regardless. If you're on a tight timeline, submit the request as soon as possible and consider emailing D&B to discuss options.
Keep in mind, if D&B denies your enrollment, ask them for the specific reason(s) and reach out to your Webex Events contact to determine the best next steps.
D&B help
We're always happy to help and give guidance throughout the Branded App submission process. However, for all D-U-N-S -related questions, such as updating company or address information for an existing number, refer to the D&B Digital Service Center for help and instructions. You can also contact D&B directly via their phone number or live chat.
