A UBI number is a nine-digit number that registers you with several state agencies and allows you to do business in Washington State. A state issued UBI number is sometimes called a tax registration number, a business registration number, or a business license number. 

Tribal member-owned businesses without a UBI may provide alternative business validation such as a license or registration with a federally recognized tribal nation in Washington State.

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is also known as a Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN/FEIN), and is used to identify a business entity. Generally, businesses need an EIN. Like a Social Security number, the EIN number is nine digits long and assigned by the federal government. The IRS uses the number to identify taxpayers who are required to file various business tax returns. The typical format is XX-XXXXXXX.

Businesses that do not have an EIN can provide an alternate tax identification number such as an ITIN/SSN.

Businesses will be required to submit a signed IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification and Certification.

Grant recipients must obtain a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number from the federal System for Awards Management (SAM) to be eligible to receive grant funds. 

For the purposes of this grant program, obtaining a Unique Entity Identifier number only is all that is necessary. This unique number is generated by SAM.gov and is the federal government’s system of keeping track where its money is allocated. The UEI number is free and generally quick to obtain.  

This helpful video will guide you through the process of registering for your UEI number in SAM.gov.
