How does a business get a UEI number?
Validate your legal and physical address information in SAM.gov after creating a Login.gov account.
A business gets a UEI by validating its legal and physical address information in SAM.gov. After creating a Login.gov account, you select the option to register an entity or get a Unique Entity ID, then provide your official business name, address, and tax details so the system can verify that you are a real organization. Once validation is complete, SAM generates a UEI that will be tied to all federal transactions and registrations going forward.
GovCon in a Box helps you prepare for this step with clear guidance on data consistency, and then uses your UEI to calculate a Federal Visibility Score, recommend NAICS codes, and surface RFIs that fit your new federal profile.
