# Constructing an ARN for Amazon RDS
<a name="USER_Tagging.ARN.Constructing"></a>

Resources created in Amazon Web Services are each uniquely identified with an Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You can construct an ARN for an Amazon RDS resource using the following syntax. 

 `arn:aws:rds:<region>:<account number>:<resourcetype>:<name>` 

[\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_Tagging.ARN.Constructing.html)

The following table shows the format that you should use when constructing an ARN for a particular Amazon RDS resource type. 


****  

| Resource type | ARN format | 
| --- | --- | 
| DB instance  |  arn:aws:rds:*<region>*:*<account>*:db:*<name>* For example: <pre>arn:aws:rds:us-east-2:123456789012:db:my-mysql-instance-1</pre>  |
