you should guard it as such.
The MPIN is a mandatory data element created by you during
the CCR registrant process and must have nine characters: at
least one letter (upper or lower case) and one number. No
spaces or special characters are permitted.
If you are not yet registered in CCR and need an MPIN,
please view our CCR User's Guide to learn what is needed and
how to register.
To view your company's MPIN:
1. Go to the CCR Homepage: www.ccr.gov.
2. Enter your user ID and password, then click the "Log In"
button.
3. Select "View" across from the DUNS number you are looking
for.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the Points of Contact to view
your MPIN.
If you change your MPIN, be aware that it may take 24-48
hours for other government systems to recognize your new
MPIN. If no change is necessary, DO NOT click Validate/Save
Data, just click "Quit CCR" at the top left side of the
screen.
If you need individual help in finding your MPIN, contact
