GLN Codes

Global Location Number (GLN)

A GLN (Global Location Number) is a unique 13-digit number that is used as a physical location identifier for a business or a branch of a business. Some retailers (such as Tesco Ireland) require these as part of their prerequisites for stocking your products in their stores. We can supply GLN’s for a one-off cost. Note that there is not one global GLN registry- the location your GLN refers to is assigned by each business you are associated with into their internal database.

Our GLN service is automated. Order below and the GLN will be emailed to you within five minutes.

If after five minutes it is still not received, please check your junk folder (particularly if you use hotmail).

You may already have a GLN if you are a NZ registered business. As of 2013, the NZ Companies office is now issuing businesses in NZ with a 13 digit NZ Business Number – this can now be used as a GLN for your business. You can find these details on the New Zealand government’s business website.
