What we check

Your company name and address are the ones held by CIPA in its online register. That register can be searched publicly, so we check your declaration against it before we search.

This register can be searched online: we compare your declaration against it before we start, then flag any gap with the Dun & Bradstreet record.

No DUNS number in Botswana yet? Have it created

Not every company has a D-U-N-S number, recent ones least of all. If the search finds nothing, we can file the creation request in your name with Dun & Bradstreet's local partner: US$99.00 excl. tax, number emailed 10 to 35 days after submission. Not sure whether your company has one? Start with the search.

How creation works

Worth knowing in Botswana

Your UIN replaced your old company number

Every company had to re-register with CIPA from June 2019 and received a new UIN starting with BW. Numbers like CO2012/12936 belong to the old register: give us the UIN.

One number for CIPA and BURS

BURS adopted the CIPA number as the company's tax number. That is why we ask for the UIN alone: it identifies the company in both registers.
