Welcome to Step 1 in our article series about preparing your Apple Developer account for your Webex Events Branded App. This series takes you through each step of the process.

Congratulations on deciding to build a beautiful Branded App for your Event! This article explains how to find out if your company has a D-U-N-S number, and how to submit an application if you don't already have one.

What is a D-U-N-S number, and why does my company need one?

Apple requires that your company be verified as a legal entity before you can create an Apple Developer Account and publish your Branded App. Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) is a third-party verification source that issues a D-U-N-S number — a unique identifier for your business within the global Dun & Bradstreet network that acts as a digital certificate.

Locate your existing D-U-N-S number

Apply for a new D-U-N-S number

If you've searched on the D&B website and determined that your company doesn't already have a D-U-N-S number, you must register for one. D&B asks for the following information during registration:

  • Legal entity name

  • Headquarters address

  • Mailing address

  • Your work contact information

After requesting a D-U-N-S Number, plan to wait up to 14 business days to receive your number from D&B. You can pay D&B a fee for a 5-day turnaround on your D-U-N-S Number, though we recommend allowing for the full 14 days regardless. If you're on a tight timeline, submit the request as soon as possible and consider emailing D&B to discuss options.

💡 Keep in mind, if D&B denies your enrollment, ask them for the specific reason(s) and reach out to your Webex Events contact to determine the best next steps.

D&B help

We're always happy to help and give guidance throughout the Branded App submission process. However, for all D-U-N-S -related questions, such as updating company or address information for an existing number, refer to the D&B Digital Service Center for help and instructions. You can also contact D&B directly via their phone number or live chat.

Next steps

  • Use the time spent waiting for your D-U-N-S number to get started building your Branded App and creating your Event App!

  • Before submitting your Branded App, you must configure your Event with an icon, cover image, banners (if applicable), and customized feature icons, so prepare those elements, too. 🖼️ Refer to our Image Dimensions Quick Reference article for complete details about all these images and more.
