What we check

Your registered name and address are the ones filed with the CIPC. Dun & Bradstreet must carry that spelling, not your trading name.

This register is not openly searchable. We therefore compare the Dun & Bradstreet record against the documents you send us, starting with your certificate of incorporation, and flag any gap between the two.

No DUNS number in South Africa yet? Have it created

Not every company has a D-U-N-S number, recent ones least of all. If the search finds nothing, we can file the creation request in your name with Dun & Bradstreet's local partner: US$99.00 excl. tax, number emailed 10 to 35 days after submission. Not sure whether your company has one? Start with the search.

How creation works

Worth knowing in South Africa

The suffix says what the entity is

The two digits after the second slash encode the entity type — 07 for a private company. A number ending differently describes something other than a Pty Ltd, and the D-U-N-S record must match.

Registered name, not trading name

Many South African companies trade under a name that is not the one on the CIPC register. Apple checks the registered name, so that is the one to give us.
