Quick Start Guide for Getting a Unique Entity ID

SAM.gov is the official free, government-operated website for the management of government
awards. There is NO charge to register or maintain your entity information in SAM.gov.
You can get a Unique Entity ID for your organization without having to complete a full entity
registration. If you only conduct certain types of transactions, such as reporting as a sub-awardee, you
may not need to complete an entity registration. Your entity may only need a Unique Entity ID.

If your entity is registered in SAM.gov, you already have a Unique Entity ID


If you have an active or inactive registration in SAM.gov today, you’ve already been assigned a Unique
Entity ID. It’s viewable on your entity registration record in SAM.gov. Learn how to view your Unique
Entity ID (SAM) here.

If your entity is not registered in SAM.gov and you only want a Unique Entity ID
If you want to only get a Unique Entity ID and do not want to complete a full entity registration in
SAM.gov, follow the steps below.

1. Go to SAM.gov and select “Sign In” from the upper right corner of the page. If you do not have a
SAM.gov account, you will need to create one. SAM.gov uses Login.gov for authentication.
More help with using Login.gov can be accessed here. Once you create your user credentials,
you will return to SAM.gov to complete your profile.
