Regulatory Requirements

Regulatory Requirements for DID Phone Numbers ordering from certain countries

Phone Number Ordering Requirements

UK and US Phone numbers can be ordered without any verification.

Certain other countries have regulatory requirements regarding the allocation of local numbers. While a customer could order a phone number type successfully and payment made, but if the phone number type ordered has a regulatory registration requirement, the customer may not be able to use the number until the registration is submitted and approval received from the regulatory authority for the customer to use the phone number.

The following table lists countries where requirements apply, along with the documentation necessary for local number registration.
