THE PROCESS
Registration Walkthrough
Understand the three critical phases of 10DLC compliance. Follow these instructional steps sequentially to ensure your brand and messaging campaigns are vetted, approved, and protected from carrier filtering.
Brand Registration
The first phase requires submitting your legal company information, including your EIN, legal business name, and business address. This establishes your foundational identity with the registry.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Your legal business name and EIN must match your IRS CP575 or 147C letter exactly. Even a missing comma or incorrect abbreviation will trigger an automatic rejection.
Campaign Registration
Once your brand is verified, you must define exactly how you intend to use SMS. This includes providing detailed use cases, sample messages, and visual proof of your consumer opt-in flow.
⚠️ CRITICAL: You must provide a clear, publicly accessible URL showing exactly where and how users explicitly consent to receive SMS messages from your brand.
Carrier Vetting & Approval
After submission, The Campaign Registry (TCR) and participating carriers will manually review your application. A 'Trust Score' is assigned, which determines your daily message throughput limit.
⏱️ TIMELINE: Vetting typically takes 3-5 business days. Do not send any live traffic until you receive formal campaign approval status.
