DUNS Number?
What is DUNS Number?
The DUNS Number is a unique nine-digit number that identifies business entities on a location-specific basis. Assigned and maintained by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), the DUNS Number is widely used as a standard business identifier.
Your DUNS Number will be used to check the identity and legal entity status of your organization as part of our enrollment verification process for joining the Apple Developer Program or the Apple Developer Enterprise Program. While many types of businesses can receive a DUNS Number, your business must be recognized as a legal entity (such as a corporation, limited partnership, or limited liability company) to enter into the legal terms and obligations of Apple Developer Program agreements. DBAs, fictitious businesses, trade names, and branches are not accepted.
Companies and educational institutions must provide a DUNS Number registered to their legal entity. A DUNS Number is optional for government organizations. If you're enrolling as an individual, you don't need a DUNS Number.

Requesting a DUNS Number
D&B may have already assigned your organization a free DUNS Number. Before enrolling, look up your organization to see if you have a DUNS Number. If your company is not listed, you’ll have the option to submit your information to Dun & Bradstreet for a free DUNS Number.
You'll be asked for the following information when looking up your organization:
- Legal entity name
- Headquarters address
- Mailing address
- Your work contact information
As part of their verification process, a D&B representative may contact you directly for more information (such as your business type or number of employees). Please have your business registration documents ready.
Receiving and managing your DUNS Number
After requesting a DUNS Number, please allow up to 5 business days to receive your number from D&B. Expediting your DUNS Number creation process will not shorten this waiting period. If your application has taken longer than two weeks to process, please email D&B.
Once you receive your DUNS Number, please allow up to 2 business days for Apple to receive your information from D&B. After this period, you may enroll as a company/organization in the Apple Developer Program.
To update your D&B profile, email D&B. Please note that it takes up to two business days for D&B to provide updated information to Apple.
