What the partner asks for

You enter it on the form, before paying:

  • the registered company name, as on the register
  • the registration number and income tax number
  • the physical address, and the postal address if different
  • the company telephone number, country code included
  • the company email address
  • the website and a contact person, if you have them

The document to upload

How long it takes

10 to 35 days after the request is submitted, excluding the partner's closure from 15 December to 15 January. This period is indicative: it depends on the partner.

Yes: any company can apply free of charge through Dun & Bradstreet. What you pay for, US$99.00 excl. tax, is having us do it for you: we prepare the request, file it in your company's name with Dun & Bradstreet's local partner, follow it up and email you the number.

How long does it take?

Your request goes to the partner as soon as you upload your registration certificate. The number then reaches you by email 10 to 35 days after submission, excluding the partner's closure from 15 December to 15 January.

What if my company already has a number?

The partner tells us, and we send you that number: the order remains payable, since the work is done. If you are not sure, start with the search, US$19.99 excl. tax, delivered within the hour.

What if the request does not go through?

You are refunded in full if the partner declines to create the number, or if you do not upload your certificate within 14 days. You are reminded by email one, five and ten days after we ask.
