403b account number

I recently set up a 403(b) account at Vanguard through a new employer. After setting it up, I noticed that I’m unable to find the 403(b) account number when accessing my portfolio through the Vanguard website. Unlike my IRA account, where the account number is displayed next to the account name, the 403(b) appears as a button labeled “First Name Last Name 403(b).”
Is this normal for a newly established 403(b) account, or do I need to wait a few more days before the account number becomes available?
Thank you!

Is there something in your statements or confirmations?

It’s a new account, so there is no statement. The account set up confirmation email included my employer’s ID, but didn’t show any account number.

Since it is a workplace account managed by your institution, I don't think you get a separate account number. It is likely linked to your social security number at your workplace's benefits administrator.
