Google Play Organization Account and D-U-N-S Setup Playbook

Organization Account Scope

This playbook applies when a registered legal entity will own and publish the app. It replaces an earlier illustrative case that used an unverified company identity and fixed ten-day outcome. No provider can guarantee D&B processing or Google's verification timeline.

Normalize the Legal Entity Before Applying

Create one source-of-truth sheet from the organization's registration record. Use it to compare the legal name, registered address, telephone number, website, domain email, and authorized representative across D&B, the company website, payment profile, and Play Console.

• Do not substitute a trading name where the form requests the legal entity name.
• Record punctuation, abbreviations, suite numbers, and postal formatting exactly.
• Confirm that the website identifies the same company and provides a working support route.
• Resolve stale D&B data before building the Play Console application around it.

D-U-N-S Lookup and Request Workflow

1. Search first. Check whether the entity already has a D-U-N-S Number before requesting a duplicate.
2. Validate the returned record. Compare the legal name and address with the current registration documents.
3. Request or update when required. Submit only current documents through the official D&B route for the organization's country.
4. Track the external case. Keep confirmation numbers, requested corrections, and dates without claiming privileged or expedited access.
5. Recheck before Play Console entry. Confirm the public record reflects the intended entity.

Configure the Client-Owned Play Console Account

Use an organization-controlled email, payment method, telephone number, and website. The authorized representative should complete identity steps directly. Access for an agency or contractor should be granted through Play Console users and permissions rather than by transferring ownership of shared credentials.

Verification packet

• Legal-entity source sheet and current registration document.
• Confirmed D-U-N-S record.
• Authorized representative details and role.
• Organization-controlled domain, support email, and public legal routes.
• Record of each submitted value and the corresponding source.

Timeline and External Dependencies

Acceptance Criteria and Handover

• The developer account is owned by and identifies the correct legal entity.
• The D-U-N-S record and submitted organization details match.
• The client controls the primary email, payment profile, domain, and recovery methods.
• Team access follows least privilege and can be revoked without credential rotation.
• The handover records external case IDs, unresolved dependencies, and next actions.
