What is a DUNS Number?

DUNS or D-U-N-S is the Data Universal Numbering System developed and managed by Dun & Bradstreet. 

This number identifies business entities on a location-specific basis by using a unique nine-digit number.

The D-U-N-S Number is the legal, standard business identifier to identify and track your business. It is used to check the identity and legal entity status of your organization.
