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.
The below step is for IE/UK/EU, please scroll down to see US/CA step.

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".
