Frequently asked questions
What is a D-U-N-S Number?
A D-U-N-S Number is a nine-digit business identifier assigned by Dun & Bradstreet. It identifies a business record; it is not an app-publishing approval or a credit score.
Who provides D-U-N-S application assistance in India?
MASTERSTAP, operated by SBVM Information Technology, provides independent D-U-N-S application assistance in India. We help with documentation, company-information review, application preparation and follow-up for Indian and international businesses.
Is MASTERSTAP Dun & Bradstreet?
No. MASTERSTAP is an independent assistance provider. Dun & Bradstreet issues and manages D-U-N-S Numbers. You can also approach D&B directly.
Can I get a D-U-N-S Number in 24 hours?
A 24-hour issuance cannot be guaranteed. Timing depends on existing records, document completeness, business verification and D&B processing. Tell us your deadline so we can assess your case before you proceed.
What does the assistance fee cover?
Your written quotation explains the document review, information checks, application support and follow-up included. Our consulting fee is separate from any D&B or developer-platform charges. Ask for the complete scope before paying.
Can I apply directly without a consultant?
Yes. You can approach Dun & Bradstreet directly. Apple also provides an official lookup and request route. A consultant is optional and helps you prepare and coordinate your application.
What documents should I prepare?
Start with your company registration certificate or relevant business-registration document, the exact legal name and address, an official email and a contact number. Additional evidence may be requested for your entity or jurisdiction.
Does a D-U-N-S Number guarantee Google or Apple approval?
No. Google and Apple independently verify eligibility and other account requirements. A D-U-N-S Number is one part of organization verification.
Can a new company apply?
A newly incorporated business can seek assistance. New records may require more verification. Prepare registration evidence and consistent business details, and allow time for D&B and platform checks.
What if my company already has a number?
Check the existing record before making a new request. If the business details are outdated, pursue an update to the correct record rather than creating a duplicate application.
What if my legal name or address is incorrect?
Compare the D&B record against your current registration evidence. Request the appropriate correction with D&B and retain confirmation. Developer platforms may need time to recognize an updated record.
Do you support international companies?
MASTERSTAP offers document and application assistance for international businesses, including LLCs. Availability and evidence requirements depend on the country and the relevant D&B process.
Is a D-U-N-S Number the same as GST registration?
No. A D-U-N-S Number identifies a business in Dun & Bradstreet’s records. GST registration concerns India’s goods and services tax system. Neither substitutes for the other.
Does having a D-U-N-S Number include a D-U-N-S Registered seal?
Do not assume that it does. D-U-N-S Registered is a separate D&B offering involving a business profile and seal. Confirm the product scope with D&B.
Can MASTERSTAP issue a D-U-N-S Number?
No. Only Dun & Bradstreet issues and manages the number. MASTERSTAP offers independent document preparation and application guidance, with no D&B authorization or affiliation claimed.
How do I start an enquiry with MASTERSTAP?
Use the WhatsApp enquiry form with your company name, company type, country and requirement. It opens a prepared message to +91 7357029733; tap Send in WhatsApp to deliver it.
Does a D-U-N-S Number guarantee international customers?
No. Business identification can support a buyer’s checks, but contracts depend on the buyer’s requirements and assessment. A number is not a promise of sales or finance.
