Prior to conducting one of our economic surveys, the U.S. Census Bureau may contact you by mail or email to request that you review and update the contact information for your organization. Updated contact information allows the U.S. Census Bureau to communicate with survey respondents efficiently.

If you receive a request to review and update the contact information for your organization, the U.S. Census Bureau may have selected your company/establishment/government for one of our economic surveys. 

The letter or emails you receive will provide a Username and Password that can be entered at the survey website. Once logged in, review the information presented, answer a few questions, provide any contact updates, and submit your response. It is expected to take just a few minutes to complete this request.

If you are contacted by the Census Bureau, here are few common ways to verify the legitimacy of a Census Bureau communication:

• Census Bureau Website Address: Any web address we provide will include "census.gov". If you do not see “census.gov” in the URL provided, it is not from the U.S. Census Bureau. 
• Census Bureau Email Address: Correspondence sent in the form of a letter or email will contain reporting instructions and a phone number and/or email address for survey assistance. Legitimate Census Bureau email addresses include “@census.gov”. 
• If you receive an email from us, hover your cursor over the sender email address and ensure that the pop-up that is displayed shows the email address that is listed. If it doesn’t match, this is not an email from the Census Bureau.
