Create Your Certify Account

NOTE: Only primary, majority firm owners or their legal designee are allowed to create accounts on Certify.

To create your Certify account, you must verify the information you created when you registered in SAM.gov.  

In order to connect to your SAM.gov information to Certify, you will need to enter your UEI, TIN (EIN or SSN, as indicated on the firm’s SAM.gov account), CAGE Code (if applicable), Bank Account Number (matched to the CAGE code from SAM.gov) and firm structure type (e.g. corporation, LLC, sole proprietorship). 

Create an Account

  1. Visit certify.SBA.gov and click on the “Create an Account” button to begin the registration process. 
  2. You will be asked to create a passphrase. The passphrase requirement is complex to protect the personal information you will upload to Certify. 
  3. If you do not receive an email from Certify after you’ve created your account, check your spam folder and add certify@sba.gov to your contacts. The account creation email link expires after 24 hours.
