Your path through 10DLC registration
Follow these in order. Each step covers one part of getting registered and staying compliant, from your first brand filing to keeping messages delivered.
Understand the two layers
Brand registration proves who you are; campaign registration describes what you send. Learn why both are mandatory and how they connect.
Prepare your website
A live privacy policy, visible opt-in wording, and messaging terms with STOP and HELP. Get these right before you file anything.
Register your brand
Submit your legal business name and EIN exactly as they appear on your IRS records. A mismatch here is the most common reason vetting fails.
File your campaign
Choose an honest use case, write real sample messages, and evidence your opt-in. This is where most rejections happen and where they are easiest to avoid.
Budget the cost
Know the three parts of the bill before you start: a one-time brand fee, a monthly campaign fee, and per-message carrier charges.
Confirm you actually need it
If any of your recipients are in the US, registration is required. Here is why unregistered traffic is now blocked rather than filtered.
