| What is my Confirmation Number? |
When you first begin your CCR registration, CCR assigns a Confirmation number. It is temporary for one week and should be written down as you are not reminded of it. To receive a new confirmation number, contact CCR at 888-227-2423. The TPIN code eventually replaces the confirmation number and confirms your registration is complete.

| Can I add, or update, my Doing Business As (DBA) Name? |
A DBA, or Doing Business As name is also commonly called a 'Tradestyle Name'. On the webform, you can modify, or enter, up to 3 DBA's/Tradestyles beginning on the 'Tradestyle Name 1' line. This field is located under the 'Company Name' section and is optional. It is important to note that ONLY the FIRST Tradestyle/DBA is sent to the CCR at this time. Therefore it is important to have the DBA that you want to show in CCR, be the one that you enter in Tradestyle 1.
