RingCentral 10DLC Registration Overview

RingCentral requires all customers sending SMS/MMS to U.S. numbers to register with The Campaign Registry (TCR). This process validates your business identity ("Brand") and your messaging use case ("Campaign") to prevent spam and ensure compliance with carrier policies.

Enforcement Status:
Mandatory (Unregistered Traffic Blocked)
Approval Time:
3-10 Business Days
Platform:
RingCentral Admin Portal

Failure to register results in message blocking, lower throughput limits, and potential fines. The process involves two distinct steps: Brand Registration and Campaign Registration.

Step-by-Step Registration Guide

  1. 1

    Access the Admin Portal

    Log in to your RingCentral online account as an Administrator.

    Navigate to Phone System > Phone Numbers > TCR Registration (or "10DLC Registration" depending on version).

  2. 2

    Submit Brand Details

    You must register your legal entity. Ensure the following match your IRS records exactly:

    • Legal Business Name
    • EIN (Employer Identification Number)
    • Business Address

    Mismatches here are the #1 cause of rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does RingCentral TCR approval take?
Brand registration is often automated (minutes to hours). Campaign registration typically takes 3-5 business days for carrier manual review. High-risk use cases may take longer.
What if I don't have an EIN?
You must register as a Sole Proprietor. This has lower throughput limits and may require OTP verification. We strongly recommend obtaining an EIN for better deliverability.
Can I edit my campaign later?
Significant changes (like use case type) usually require a new campaign registration. Minor edits to sample messages may trigger re-vetting.
