SAM.gov Registration Checklist

Prepare SAM.gov entity-registration information, legal business details and validation documents.

SAM.gov Registration Checklist is a 4-page PDF field guide. Legal business details, Unique Entity ID and validation documents.

• Registration is more than a UEI: Entity validation, core data, assertions, representations and points of contact must align.

• Legal identity must match: Name, address, taxpayer data and banking information should be verified against authoritative records.

• Codes shape discovery: NAICS, size information and capabilities must accurately represent the business.

• Renewal is operational: Registration status, administrator access and changing representations need scheduled review.

Action checklist: Create Login.gov access under business control; Gather legal and tax records; Complete entity validation; Select accurate NAICS codes; Review representations and certifications; Calendar renewal and access review.

SAM.gov is the authoritative source; never pay an unofficial party merely to obtain a UEI.
