D-U-N-S questions.
Clear answers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our stated service target for proprietorship cases is seven days after complete documents are accepted. Eligibility, record availability and D&B checks can extend the timeline. We assess your intended use before recommending an application route.

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.

No. It is not a universal business registration or tax identifier. Whether you need it depends on the platform, customer or onboarding process you are using. Ask the requesting organization which business entity and location it needs verified.

A D-U-N-S number alone does not establish eligibility for Apple organization enrollment. Apple generally directs sole proprietors and single-person businesses to individual enrollment. We help you check the current account rules before you spend time on an unsuitable application.

Google generally requests a D-U-N-S number for organization developer accounts, subject to its stated exceptions and support routes. Personal accounts follow a different identity verification process. Your organization’s details must match the relevant records.

The number is one part of business verification. Google and Apple make their own decisions about account enrollment, identity checks and app review. Our guidance does not guarantee an account, listing or app approval.

We provide consultancy for businesses in the UAE, United States, Canada, Australia and Singapore, alongside India. We assess the entity’s local registration details and guide you to the appropriate official regional route. India service targets do not automatically apply internationally.

We provide a written, case-specific quote after reviewing your entity type, country, intended use and urgency. The quote should separate our consultancy fee from any official or third-party charges. No price is implied by contacting us.

Start with an official lookup. A business may already be recorded even if you have never applied personally. We help compare the existing name and address with your registration records and identify whether a correction is needed before considering a new request.

We can help identify inconsistent records and prepare the information needed for a correction request through D&B’s official channels. The record owner and platform control their respective updates; synchronization may take additional time.

No. Star International provides independent consultancy. D-U-N-S is a registered trademark of Dun & Bradstreet. Apple, Google and their product names belong to their respective owners.

Call +91 83064 86733, email info@starinternationalglobal.com or send us an enquiry on WhatsApp. Share your company type, country and intended use first. Do not send passwords, OTPs or sensitive identity documents through the initial enquiry.

No. A business identifier and a credit assessment are different. Receiving the number does not itself establish a positive credit rating, guarantee financing or imply endorsement by D&B.

Check the existing record first. A trading-name change, address correction, new branch or separate legal entity can require different handling. We help you describe the change accurately so the official channel can determine the appropriate record action.

We can review the information you have submitted, identify missing or inconsistent records and help prepare a response to the official support team. We cannot override a verification decision or promise that a delayed request will be approved.

Use company-controlled email, phone numbers and payment methods. Your authorized representative should own the account and complete identity and authority checks personally. Do not share passwords or one-time verification codes with a consultant.
