How to get a DUNS number in Australia

Our Church is developing a phone app and as part of the process we needed to get a DUNS number. If you are developing an Apple App Store App you need a DUNS number. We were taken to a site called “dun&bradstreet” but there was no place to get a DUNS number unless you were from the USA or Canada. Do you live in Australia and need a DUNS number? Here’s the good news – you probably already have one! Anyone with an ABN gets a DUNS humber created automatically. Here’s how to find it.

Somehow I stumbled on this site below and discovered that our church already has a DUNS number. What’s more, I checked out myself and I have a DUNS number too. (I have never applied for one.) My theory is that anyone who has an Australian ABN is automatically given a DUNS number.

If you go to this website, you can search for your company and see if you have a DUNS number:

The search results look like this, showing both your ABN and your DUNS number.
