YOUR BUSINESS D-U-N-S NUMBER

This number is a unique identifier used to verify your business's identity and legal status. It is an ID that Apple uses to verify that your business can publish apps on the App Store. D-U-N-S numbers are issued by a company called Dun & Bradstreet to registered businesses. If your business was registered as a legal entity in the past, then you may have a D-U-N-S number already assigned to your business.

To find out what your business D-U-N-S number is, please read the below.

Find your D-U-N-S number with Apple

Visit the 'Look up your D-U-N-S Number' page from Apple: https://developer.apple.com/enroll/duns-lookup/

• Log in using your business's Apple ID
• Complete the form then click Continue at the bottom
• If your business was found, select it from the list
• Now check your email for a message from developer@email.apple.com (it should arrive within a few minutes).

If your business isn't found, you can request a D-U-N-S number directly from the

"Your organization was not found" screen on the Apple page. Apple will automatically fill this form with the information you provided on the previous page - you just need to verify the details are correct and submit the form.

What to expect when requesting a D-U-N-S number

If you couldn't find your DUNS number and requested one:

• Registering with Dun & Bradstreet is free
• After requesting a number, it may take up to five days to receive it. If you've waited five days and haven't received a reply, please contact Dun & Bradstreet at (800) 234-3867 to check on the status of your request.

• Once your number is received, it may take an additional two days for Apple to receive your registration information.

Apple provides a brief overview of this process here.

Because we are relying on both Dun & Bradstreet and Apple to complete this process, Flipdish will be unable to assist you at that time.

• The next step is "Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Apple Device".
