How to register a 10DLC campaign

When purchasing a 10DLC number via the Dashboard, you will be directed to a campaign registration form. Below is a complete list of everything you'll need before you get started.

If you require help with this process or wish to purchase additional 10DLC numbers for an existing campaign, please contact support.


What you'll need

  1. Gather your business information

    • Legal company name

    • Country where you’re registered

    • Tax ID (like an EIN for US businesses)

    • Website address

  2. Prepare your campaign details

    • Choose your use case (for example, customer support or promotions)

    • Write a short description of what you’ll be sending

    • Add a few sample messages

  3. Describe how people opt in

    • Explain how people agree to receive your messages (for example, filling in a form or texting a keyword)

    • Provide links and examples of the opt-in process

  4. Submit your registration

    • Fill out your brand and campaign forms through your SMS provider

    • Double-check everything matches your official records

  5. Get your TrustScore

    • After you submit your details, you’ll get a TrustScore

    • This score affects how fast and how many messages you can send

  6. Wait for approval

    • Standard campaigns are usually approved within a few business days

    • Special Use Cases might take longer if extra checks are needed


Eligibility for overseas businesses

If your business is based outside North America, you can still register a 10DLC if you’re in an eligible country. The process is the same.


Tips for a smooth registration

  • Keep your use case clear and specific

  • Show real examples of how people opt in

  • Make sure your business name, website, and tax details match up

  • Avoid mixing different types of messaging into one campaign
