D&B FEIN Terms and Connectors Search Method

You can use the terms and connectors method to perform a D&B FEIN search.

Procedure:
  1. If it is not already selected, then select Terms & Connectors Search.

    For information about using terms and connectors in a search form, see Terms and Connectors.

  2. Enter the name of the company.
  3. Enter the TIN (taxpayer identification number) or the FEIN (federal employer identification number).
    This is the number that the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) uses to identify a company for tax purposes (for example, 111222333).
  4. Enter the street address with or without numbers.
    You can also include any other details (for example, Ave, St, Ct, or Blvd).
  5. In the Add Segments list, select a category for words that must be included in the document, and click Add.
  6. Click within the parentheses, then enter one or more words associated with the term. For example, if you select Company Name, you might type ABC Corporation in the parentheses.
  7. Continue to add segments to narrow your search.
  8. To associate your search with a customer or a topic, provide a label (for example, the customer's name or a topic name) in the Reference ID field.
    The History function lets you view the searches that are associated with a reference ID.
    Note Your organization may require a reference ID in a particular format. Additionally, the contents of this field may be automatically completed or the field may have restrictions that are configured by your administrator.
  9. Click Search.
