DUNS Number Assistance
for Cosmetic Facilities
Under MoCRA, the FDA requires a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) for every cosmetic manufacturing and processing facility. The DUNS Number — issued by Dun & Bradstreet — is the accepted UFI for FDA cosmetic facility registration. We handle the full DUNS request process so your registration is never delayed.
What Is a DUNS Number & Why Is It Required for MoCRA?
The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA) requires every cosmetic manufacturing and processing facility to include a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) in their FDA registration. The FDA has designated the DUNS Number (Data Universal Numbering System) — a unique 9-digit identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) — as the accepted UFI for all cosmetic facilities.
Every individual manufacturing or processing facility requires its own DUNS Number. Missing or incorrect DUNS information can cause FDA registration delays or outright submission rejection. FDA Registration Assistance manages the full D&B request process on your behalf — accurately, completely, and on time.

Frequently Asked Questions — DUNS Number Assistance for Cosmetics
Common questions about DUNS Number requirements for cosmetic facilities, how to obtain your UFI, MoCRA compliance, and how FDA Registration Assistance can help.
What is a DUNS Number?
A DUNS Number (Data Universal Numbering System) is a unique 9-digit identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) that identifies individual business entities, including manufacturing and processing facilities. Under MoCRA, it serves as the required Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) for FDA cosmetic facility registration.
Is a DUNS Number required for MoCRA cosmetic facility registration?
Yes. The FDA requires all cosmetic manufacturing and processing facilities to include a Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) in their MoCRA registration. The FDA has designated the DUNS Number as the accepted UFI, making it a mandatory part of the registration process.
Does every facility need its own DUNS Number?
Yes. Each individual manufacturing or processing facility requires its own separate DUNS Number. If your company operates multiple facilities, each location must obtain and maintain its own distinct 9-digit DUNS identifier.
Does a DUNS Number replace my MoCRA facility registration?
No. A DUNS Number is not a substitute for your MoCRA facility registration. It is a prerequisite identifier required to complete your FDA cosmetic facility registration. You must still register your facility with the FDA under MoCRA.
How long does it take to obtain a DUNS Number?
Standard DUNS Number requests typically take several business days when all facility information is accurate and complete. Errors or inconsistencies in your facility details can cause processing delays. FDA Registration Assistance ensures your application is correct before submission to avoid delays.
Can I obtain a DUNS Number on my own?
Yes, obtaining a DUNS Number through Dun & Bradstreet is free. However, the process can be confusing, and errors in facility information can cause significant delays. FDA Registration Assistance manages the full request process to ensure accuracy and faster processing.
What information is needed to obtain a DUNS Number?
To request a DUNS Number, you need your facility's legal business name, physical address, contact information, and the nature of your business operations. All information must exactly match what will be used in your FDA MoCRA registration.
Does a DUNS Number expire or need to be renewed?
DUNS Numbers do not expire, but they must be kept current. If your facility name, address, or business details change, you must update your D&B records and ensure your FDA registration reflects the same information.
Do foreign cosmetic manufacturers need a DUNS Number?
Yes. Foreign cosmetic manufacturing and processing facilities that export products to the United States are subject to MoCRA and must include a valid DUNS Number in their FDA facility registration, just like domestic facilities.
Is the DUNS Number publicly visible in FDA records?
The DUNS Number is used internally in FDA submissions and may appear in regulatory records. It is primarily used by the FDA for facility identification purposes rather than being publicly displayed in a consumer-facing format.
What happens if I submit an incorrect DUNS Number to the FDA?
Submitting an incorrect or invalid DUNS Number can result in registration delays, submission rejection, or compliance issues. FDA Registration Assistance verifies your DUNS Number and facility data before submission to eliminate this risk.
Can FDA Registration Assistance help with both the DUNS request and MoCRA registration?
Yes. FDA Registration Assistance provides end-to-end MoCRA compliance support, including DUNS Number request assistance, facility registration, product listing, U.S. Agent services, and annual renewal management. We coordinate all steps to ensure complete and timely compliance.
Is DUNS assistance available for small cosmetic businesses?
Yes. FDA Registration Assistance works with cosmetic manufacturers of all sizes — from small indie brands to large contract manufacturers. Whether you operate one facility or multiple locations, we provide tailored DUNS Number and MoCRA compliance support.
What is MoCRA and who must comply?
MoCRA (Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022) requires all facilities that manufacture or process cosmetic products distributed in the United States to register with the FDA, submit product listings, and renew their registration annually. Both domestic and foreign facilities are subject to MoCRA requirements.
