Entity validation is the first step in getting your Unique Entity ID (UEI) or registering in SAM.gov. Since we need to be confident we have the correct legal business name and physical address, we need you to confirm this information by finding an exact match to our database.  Most entities find a match immediately, but in some cases additional documentation and a manual review is required.  

If you submitted documents to us, we will review them and contact you by email from fsdsupport@gsa.gov with further instructions. The review time will depend on whether we can make a match from your original document submission (KB0055230) or if we need to request additional documentation (KB0057690). Less complex cases where documents matching the requirements have been provided may be resolved in as few as five days, where other cases may take several weeks. As of 02/25/25, the average time to complete a manual review is two (2) business days. 

Remember, once we complete our review, you will be provided instructions via email from fsdsupport@gsa.gov on how to return to SAM.gov and complete the entity validation process.
