Google Play organization accounts: D-U-N-S, payments and verification

When it is required

Developers of financial products, health apps, apps approved for VpnService and government apps must register as an organization.

D-U-N-S number

Registering as an organization needs a D-U-N-S number, and the account details must match the Dun & Bradstreet profile.

Taking over an organization account

• Same organization: existing details carry over, but the new owner needs admin access to the payments profiles first.
• To a different company: the new owner picks their own company's payments profile for verification and enters organization type, size and phone.
• Ask before handover whether the organization shown on Google Play will need updating.
