· To request via the web go to http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or call 866-705-5711.
· This can take up to a week to obtain in some cases, but typically takes 24 hours.
2. Identify your Northern American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code(s). NAICS Codes are a method for classifying business establishments.
· You may search for your NAICS Code(s) at http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/.
· You must supply at least one for your registration to be complete, but you can provide as many as your firm is capable of performing.
· You can add or change NAICS Codes at any time.
