How long does a DUNS (D-U-N-S) number take? Timelines and prices of the three options

The three options and their prices

What each option includes

• Express: the number, a check of the Dun & Bradstreet record, its missing fields completed (phone, postal code) and a PDF extract. It is only possible when Dun & Bradstreet can issue the number on the spot.
• Accelerated: Dun & Bradstreet's accelerated procedure, and follow-up until the number is issued.
• Standard: Dun & Bradstreet's own timeline. It is not guaranteed.
• When Dun & Bradstreet has to create the company's record, only Accelerated and Standard are possible. We never promise the same day in that case.

How the option is chosen

• We check Dun & Bradstreet first, in a few minutes. The option is chosen after that check.
• When Dun & Bradstreet can issue the number on the spot, Express is offered first.
• When Dun & Bradstreet has to create the company's record, only Accelerated and Standard are offered. We do not promise the same day.

Payment, proforma and stamp duty

• The work starts when the payment is received, after a proforma invoice.
• The proforma and the payment details are only sent once the price is accepted.
• Prices are excluding VAT. VAT at 19 % applies to our fee.
• For a cash payment, the stamp duty of the receipt is added: 1 % up to 30 000 DA, 1.5 % up to 100 000 DA, 2 % above (finance law 2025, article 46).
• Example, Express paid in cash: 90 000 DA excl. VAT + 17 100 DA VAT = 107 100 DA incl. VAT. That is above 100 000 DA, so 1 071 slices of 100 DA at 2 DA = 2 142 DA of stamp duty. Total to pay: 109 242 DA.

What to send us

• The exact legal name of the company, as on the trade register.
• The RC, NIF and NIS numbers. Or photos of the RC extract and of the NIF and NIS attestations (these are company documents, not personal ones).
• The registered address.
• The manager's name.
• What the D-U-N-S number is for.
