Accessing the National Do Not Call Registry

 Top  Previous  Next

 

The first step to scrubbing your call lists against the National Do Not Call Registry is creating a profile with the FTC. An organization must have a profile to access telephone numbers in the National Registry. The steps required prior to accessing telephone numbers are:

1.Provide information about your organization, your organization's function, and about the organization’s authorized representative. If you are adding a client that does not have a current Subscription Account Number (SAN), you must provide information about that client.
2.Review the information to make sure it is correct.
3.Certify that your organization will comply with the requirements of the National Registry.
4.Receive log-in information (organization ID, passwords).
5.Receive emails and click on the link in the email to confirm your email address is correct.
6.Log in with your organization ID and the Representative password.
7.If you are a telemarketer or service provider, provide information about your clients. If your client does not have a current Subscription Account Number, you must create a profile for that client. If your client does have a current Subscription Account Number (SAN), you must enter the SAN.
8.Subscribe to the area codes you want.
9.If a fee is owed, pay for your subscription.
10. Wait for your subscription to be accepted.
11. If your subscription is accepted, you will be assigned a Subscription Account Number.
12. Then you may download your area code subscription lists or do an interactive phone number search.

To create a profile, you must be your organization's authorized representative for the National Do Not Call Registry. The responsibilities of an authorized representative are:

•Certify that your organization will comply with the requirements of the National Registry.
•Manage representative and downloader passwords.
•Pay for area codes, if a fee is owed.
•Serve as the point of contact when your organization submits requests for assistance to the Help Desk.
•Serve as the point of contact for law enforcement purposes.

You can start the process by filling out the Subscription Form at the Telemarketing Do Not Call website.

After you have registered and subscribed to the Do Not Call Registry, you can contact the DNC Help Desk if you have additional questions regarding your subscription.
