What is a D-U-N-S Number?
A D-U-N-S number is a unique nine-digit identifier assigned to each business by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) and stored in D&B’s database. Companies like Apple and Google use the D&B database to verify entities registering for corporate developer accounts. Therefore, if you plan to open an Android or iOS Corporate Developer account, you must have this number.
