Use the Federal Trade Commission's RN Lookup Service to find a company's RN.
According to the Federal Trade Commission's website, Registered Identification Numbers (RN) are issued by the FTC to businesses in the United States that sell, manufacture or export products covered by the Textile, Wool and Furs Act. RNs are issued free of charge, with a limit of one RN per company. You can use the FTC's RN Lookup Service to find an RN. You will need the name, location or product line of a company to find the RN.
Instructions
1. Access the FTC's Query RN Information website.
2. Select "RN" from the "RN Type" drop-down list and type the name of the company into the "Company Name" input field. Type "%" if you only know part of the company's name. For example, inputting "% Mart" as the company name may return a list of results that includes companies such as "Money Mart," "Food Mart" and "Deal Mart."
3. Select a business type from the "Business Type" drop-down list. If you are not sure of the company's business type, leave this field blank. Input the city, state code and ZIP code into the appropriate input fields. If you do not know the state code, click the "LOV" link beside the "State Code" input field to view a list of state codes.
4. Enter the company's product line into the "Product Line" input field. If you do not know the product line of the company, leave this field blank. Click "Find" to submit the search form and view the results.
