In this article, we will provide you with a complete guide to applying for a D-U-N-S® Number from India.
What Is a D-U-N-S® Number?
A D-U-N-S® Number is a 9-digit unique business identifier assigned to your business by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). More than 500 million businesses globally are registered with a D-U-N-S® Number and use their unique number to establish credibility among international lenders and consumers in conducting international transactions. If you don’t have a D-U-N-S® Number, your Indian business will not be able to establish a presence on international platforms, such as Apple and Amazon.

Step 1 — Reach Out to Our Expert Team
The first step is easy. Simply reach out to our experts. Contact us by phone, email, or WhatsApp. We will determine your type of business and the reason for obtaining a D-U-N-S® Number.

Step 2 — Check for an Existing D-U-N-S® Number
You may already have a D-U-N-S® Number, without even knowing it. It is possible that through your customers or partners, your business is already registered in the D&B system. Prior to creating an application for a new D-U-N-S® Number, we check to see if you have an existing D-U-N-S® Number, and if we can provide you with access to that existing D-U-N-S® Number, we will assist you with doing so. This will save you time and frustration.
Step 3 — Document Collection and Verification
The third step is to gather all the documentation needed and to verify that all documents are accurate and complete. If you have some sort of documentation (e.g., tax identification number, articles of incorporation, etc.), make sure that your spelling of the company name is the same as it appears on the document.
Our staff reviews your application documentation (e.g., tax identification number, articles of incorporation, etc.) to ensure the completeness and accuracy of all these documents.

Common Reasons Applications Get Delayed
There are many reasons why an application may get rejected. Here are some of the more common reasons:
- Mismatched business name —An additional word makes it invalid. Provide the complete legal business name (the name on the incorporation documents).
- Wrong address —Ensure that you provide your registered office address, not your operating address.
- Expired documents — Expired GST and/or Certificate of Incorporation result in immediate rejection.
- Duplicate application —If you provide two applications, you create additional issues. Make sure you check first.
- Incomplete information — Missing number of employees or type of business activity will cause delays in the verification process.
Our team ensures none of these happen to you.
