How to Register a Company with EPA
(Request a Manufacturer Code)
One of the requirements to use EPA's Verify computer system is for each company (a
manufacturer or importer) to acquire an EPA manufacturer code and register that
code in Verify. This document shows how to obtain and register a manufacturer code.
I Request a Manufacturer Code through Verify
EPA assigns a 3-character, alpha-numeric manufacturer code to each company that wants
to certify their vehicles or engines with EPA. Only one manufacturer code is assigned to
each company, even if that company plans to certify products from multiple industries.
If your company does not vet have an EPA-assigned manufacturer code: In order for
EPA to assign a manufacturer code one person from your company must complete
Verify's manufacturer registration process so that your manufacturer code can be
registered with Verify.
If your company already has an EPA-assigned manufacturer code: Your company must
still complete Verify's manufacturer registration process so that your existing 3-character
manufacturer code can be registered with Verify.
Note: Both companies acquiring a new manufacturer code AND companies who
already have a manufacturer code but need to register the code in Verify must
complete all steps in section A below.
A. Create a Verify (CDX) User Account
Verify uses EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) as the interface for companies to
submit vehicle and engine compliance information to EPA. The first step of the Verify
manufacturer registration process is to have one person from your company create a
Verify (CDX) user account.

Note: This user account will only be used for the manufacturer registration process - it
will not be used to submit actual compliance information. Separate user
accounts must be established for submitting vehicle and engine compliance
information.
For instructions on creating Verify (CDX) user accounts that will be used to
submit compliance information for a specific manufacturer, please go to
www.epa.gov/otaq/verify/setup.htm.

After one person from your company has successfully created a Verify (CDX) user
account (see section A), the next step in the Verify company registration process is to
request a manufacturer code for your company or enter the code you already have. All
companies must complete this step, even those that have already been assigned a
manufacturer code.
Note: Do not continue in this section until you have created a Verify (CDX)

you will not be able to submit compliance information to Verify until
you have completed this section of this document. Pay particular
attention to Step 2.
1. Login to the temporary CDX account created in section A. From your
MyCDX home page, click on the "VERIFY MFR REG: Request

5. You will receive a notification in your MyCDX Inbox stating that your
submission was sent to EPA for processing.
Note: Although EPA tries to respond to all manufacturer code requests in
less than two business days, it may occasionally take longer if EPA
receives requests from numerous companies in a short period. We
appreciate your patience.
While waiting for EPA's response, do not submit a duplicate
manufacturer code request to Verify. This will only delay your
registration process. If after two business days you have not
received a status notification in your MyCDX Inbox, you may send
an e-mail to Verify@epa.gov asking for a status of your
submission. Please provide the date, time, and transaction
