How do I get a DUNS Number?

When you register an ACN or an ABN with a Business Name, the Australian Business Registration Service automatically sends us your details to generate your DUNS Number. This setup takes approximately 2 weeks.

If you operate as a Sole Trader under your own name: An ABN application won't automatically trigger a DUNS Number. You have two options to get one:

  • Register a Company Name: Register a company name through ASIC. Once complete, ASIC notifies us, and we set up your DUNS Number within 2 to 3 weeks.

  • Apply as a Sole Trader: If you prefer not to register a company name, you can request a DUNS Number directly. Contact our team here to start the request. Direct requests take approximately 30 days to process

DUNS Numbers for Apple or Google Developer accounts

For Apple Developer Accounts: Apple requires a DUNS Number if you register as an Organisation (a company, partnership, or legal entity). Apple uses this number to verify your legal status before approving your enrollment. If you register as an Individual or Sole Trader, Apple lists you under your personal legal name and does not require a DUNS Number.

For Google Play Developer Accounts: Google requires a DUNS Number for all Organisation accounts to confirm your business identity during registration. If you register as an Individual, you can set up your account using your personal details, though Google may still require identity verification depending on your account structure.

To set up your company or organisation DUNS Number see the information above.

What is my DUNS Number?

You can search for your business using our DUNS Number Lookup Tool.

If your details don't appear in the search, contact our team here for assistance.

Note: Please do not use the "Set up a DUNS Number" feature on the Dun & Bradstreet global support portal at this time, as local requests are handled directly through our Australian team.

How do I change the address on my DUNS Number registration?

To update your company address, update your official details directly with ASIC

  • If you have an ACN: Update your details via ASIC. We automatically sync our records with this government database so cannot update your associated DUNS details independently.

If you operate as a business that is not registered with ASIC as a company (ie sole trader, charity, government entity or trust for example) you should contact our team here to update your business address.
