The URN identifies the manufacturing facility that produced the product. This can be any factory in the world whose products are sold in the U.S. In most states, Law Labels are required to include a Uniform Registry Number (URN). When a manufacturer registers in a state, it is issued a Uniform Registry Number (URN). This URN can then be registered in the other states requiring registration. So, only one URN is needed per factory. Only a manufacturer can be issued a URN. A single manufacturing company with multiple plants must have a different URN for each plant location.

The process of registering can be complicated. Our sister company, Global Registration Services, Inc., can help you though the process.
