Applying for DUNS Number: 'Apple Tracking Number' and 'Purpose'

Question

Applying for a DUNS Number is required to set up an Apple developer account. I was applying for it and need help with two questions in the DUNS application form:

1. Apple Tracking Number
2. Purpose - "Please mention your Purpose"

What should I enter for these fields?

Answer 1

Instead of getting a DUNS number through the dnb.co.in website, you can get Apple to make this request for you. Simply submit the form to "look up" your DUNS number on Look up your D-U-N-S Number even if you don't have it. If the website is unable to find it, it will allow you to submit the form to acquire it.

A few days after submitting this form, I got an email from dnb.com, which warned me that I don't have a company, and therefore can't get a DUNS number:

Case # 2489474 has been resolved. 

Tracking Id: REDACTED

Please note based on the request returning the best partial name
match. Delivered DUNS for ORGANISATION NAME is REDACTED.

Your milleage may vary, as I did this in the UK.

Unfortunately, this email from dnb confirmed that I need to be a registered company to get a DUNS number and create an Organization account.
