Sole Proprietor A2P Registration Returns with Enhanced Identity Verification

Sole Proprietor A2P Registration Reinstated with Enhanced Identity Verification

Enhanced Compliance for Sole Proprietor A2P Registration

We are excited to announce the reinstatement of Sole Proprietor A2P registration, which now features an important identity verification requirement to enhance compliance. This fresh update ensures that individuals and small businesses without an EIN can easily complete their A2P registration while aligning with carrier standards and reducing fraud risk.

Key Updates on Identity Verification

The pivotal change in the Sole Proprietor registration process is the inclusion of identity verification. While the overall registration flow remains familiar and unchanged, identity verification is now a necessary step just before final submission.

• Identity Verification Requirement: This step is incorporated at the final stage of registration, ensuring smooth compliance with carrier regulations.
• Unchanged Registration Flow: The form structure and validations remain consistent, maintaining an easy and familiar user experience for all registrants.

What This Means for Users

Enhanced Compliance

The introduction of identity verification significantly fortifies compliance with essential carrier regulations, helping curb potential fraud and misuse in the messaging ecosystem.

Seamless User Experience

The registration process continues to be uncomplicated and user-friendly, even with the additional verification step, allowing for a smooth transition for users.

Immediate Effect

With this update, users can begin their Sole Proprietor A2P registration, completing the necessary identity verification to finalize their setup efforts instantaneously.

Verification Process Details

The verification is a crucial step that is triggered after business and campaign information has been filled in, just before final submission. Here's how it works:

• Users will first complete all Sole Proprietor-specific A2P registration steps.
• Prior to final submission, they will be prompted to verify their identity.
• Upon successful verification, the submission and campaign creation process will be completed seamlessly.

What the Verification Step Involves

The identity verification process includes:

• Performing a live selfie with simple head movements.
• Uploading or capturing a valid government-issued ID.
• Users receive instant feedback and are promptly returned to the registration flow upon successful verification.

With these enhancements to A2P registration, we aim to deliver a compliant and straightforward experience for all sole proprietors seeking to advance their messaging capabilities.
