Explore all 20 FAQs ↗What is a D-U-N-S number?
It is a nine-digit business identifier assigned by Dun & Bradstreet. It identifies a business in the D&B database and may be requested for business verification, supplier onboarding or organization developer accounts. It is separate from a PAN, GSTIN or company incorporation number.
Does Star International issue D-U-N-S numbers?
No. Dun & Bradstreet issues and manages D-U-N-S numbers. Star International is an independent consultancy providing document readiness, information checks and guidance through the official application process. We are not an authorized D&B agent, affiliate or issuing authority.
Can I apply directly without a consultant?
Yes. You can use the official D&B application channel directly. A standard D-U-N-S number request may be available without an issuance fee through the relevant official channel. Our optional consultancy is a separate paid service. Confirm regional terms and any expedited-service charges directly with D&B.
Can I get a D-U-N-S number in 48 hours?
Our stated service target for eligible private limited companies and LLPs is 48 hours after complete, consistent documents are accepted. This is a target, not a guarantee. D&B verification, requests for clarification, working days and platform database updates can extend the overall time. Confirm the applicable scope and target in your written quote.
Which documents should I prepare?
Prepare your exact legal business name, registered and operating address, contact details, entity registration records where applicable, and an authorized representative’s details. Depending on your business and jurisdiction, incorporation records, PAN, GST registration, partnership deed or business/address evidence may be relevant. The final request comes from the official verifier.
