 Entity Registration
Checklist

Appendix II

What is an entity?
The term “entity” refers to prime contractors, organizations or individuals applying for assistance
awards, those receiving loans, sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, and any U.S. federal
government agencies desiring to do business with the government. “Entity” can also refer to a party
that has been suspended or debarred, is covered by a prohibition or restriction, or is otherwise
excluded from doing business with the government.

What is entity registration?

An entity registration allows you to bid on government contracts and apply for federal assistance. We
will assign you a Unique Entity ID as part of entity registration.
Comprehensive and current entity information is essential for the federal award process. It is
important to prepare your information and allow sufficient time to understand and accurately
complete your registration. You only need to complete and manage it here to remain eligible for
federal awards. You must renew your registration every 365 days for it to remain active.

When will my registration become active?

Allow at least ten business days after you submit your registration for it to become active in SAM.gov.
If your entity fails TIN or CAGE code validation, you will receive an email with instructions on updating
your information and resubmitting your registration. Please check your spam or junk mail for
messages during this time; messages will be sent to the Government Business POC. You may need to
work with the IRS or CAGE to update your information before resubmitting your registration.

How do I check the status of my entity registration?

If you have a role with an entity and are signed in to your SAM.gov account, you can check your entity
registration status. You can also check the status of an entity’s registration as a federal user. If none of
these is the case, you cannot check an entity’s registration status.
1. Sign in to SAM.gov. You must be signed in to check your registration status.
2. From the home page, select the “Check Registration Status” button. The page is also linked in
the footer of all pages on SAM.gov.
3. Enter a Unique Entity ID or CAGE Code and select “Search.” The entity’s registration status will
display below.
