FCC Carrier / ISP Registration

Start your telecom carrier or ISP from scratch. We handle all federal and state registrations based on the services you plan to offer.

What services will you offer?

Tell us what you plan to do and we'll determine exactly which registrations you need.

What type of service will you offer?

Select all that apply.

Voice / phone service VoIP, CLEC, or traditional Broadband internet service Retail or wholesale ISP Wholesale only Sell to other carriers, not end users

How will you deliver voice service?

Will you need any of these?

Check all that apply. These determine whether you need your own OCN and STIR/SHAKEN certificate.

Least-cost routing (LCR) Route across multiple wholesale providers Your own phone numbers (DID blocks) From number providers like Bandwidth, Inteliquent Direct carrier interconnection SIP trunking you sell to other carriers Sign outbound calls with your own identity STIR/SHAKEN certificate for call authentication

Why do wholesale voice vendors require an OCN?
An Operating Company Number identifies your company in the telecom numbering system. Major voice providers like Bandwidth, Telnyx, Lumen, and Peerless require it to open a wholesale account, port numbers, and assign DID blocks. Without an OCN, you're limited to reseller-tier access.

How will you provide internet service?

Based on your description, you may not need FCC carrier registration. Cloud and SaaS services are generally not regulated as telecommunications. Contact us for a free assessment.
