SNAP-R FAQs - What information is required if I only need a company identification number (CIN)?
You need to register the company via the on-line registration process. Though you will be assigned the roll of account administrator for the company and given instructions on setting up the user account within SNAP-R, you don’t necessarily need to complete that step of the process to obtain a CIN (though it is advised to do so in the event that the company moves and you need to update the information at some later point in time).
Note: any company that has submitted an application to BIS will already have a BIS assigned CIN on file and, if requested, the applicant and/or third party company may verify this information by contacting the Office of Exporter Services 202-482-4811, 949-660-0144 or 408-998-8806.
