- A D-U-N-S number for your organization: Provided by Dun &amp; Bradstreet, a D-U-N-S number is a unique nine-digit number that is used globally to identify businesses. Google will use your D-U-N-S number to verify your organization.
- A contact phone number and email address for Google Play users: These will be shown on Google Play so that users can contact you. You'll need to verify them by receiving a code.To help you prepare for these changes, we recommend reviewing your Dun &amp; Bradstreet account to make sure that it's up to date with the latest information about your organization.Developers with existing Play Console accounts will also be required to provide this information soon. We'll give existing developers plenty of notice to verify their accounts, and we'll send an update about these requirements later this year.</a></label><br><a href="https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/110/827/136/235/583/403/original/dcd6a5ee93770165.png" rel="external">https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/110/827/136/235/583/403/original/dcd6a5ee93770165.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/1361064">Creating a developer account for personal useWhen creating a personal account, you must provide the following information:
