Does it cost money to apply for D-U-N-S code? How do developers apply for foreign D-U-N-S code?

Since November 2023, the new version of the Google Play developer system has been officially published. To register a company developer account, you must first verify D-U-N-S code. We have publicly shared the detailed D-U-N-S code application tutorial for domestic companies before, “Google Play DD-U-N-S code application tutorial, how do Google enterprise developers Apply for D-U-N-S code”. The previous tutorial only mentioned how companies in mainland China can apply for D-U-N-S code for developer verification.

Since D-U-N-S code may belong to different branches and systems in different countries and regions around the world, the D-U-N-S process in mainland China is different from the application process in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States and other countries. Therefore, as of now, the foreign D-U-N-S code application tutorials are not available to the public.

Question: Why does my Hong Kong company need to pay a fee of HK$4,990 per year to apply for D-U-N-S code?

A developer applied for D-U-N-S code of a Hong Kong company through the suspected Dun & Bradstreet official website https://www.dnbxxxxx.com/. The domain name xxxxx is a hidden part. To prevent privacy infringement, the specific URL will not be disclosed. The email reply he got was as follows:

The domain name of the reply email also has a suffix similar to @dnb.com. In this case, a wealthy company may directly pay the D-U-N-S code sales fee of 4990 for a year. Developers who are hesitant may still ask around and research more a cost-effective solution.

In actual circumstances, D-U-N-S code applications from any country in the world are free, and there are two types of charges:

1. There are people on the market who apply for D-U-N-S code specifically to make money. They usually charge a few hundred RMB per time.
2. As a commercial company, Dun & Bradstreet also provides “high-end” services. Many developers easily find Dun & Bradstreet’s sales channels by mistake, and they want to apply for “free D-U-N-S code.” At this time, sales will start to promote. If developers do not think carefully, they will easily pay to apply for D-U-N-S code.
