How to Register in the Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD)
Step-by-step guide to registering your company in the FCC Robocall Mitigation Database. Includes STIR/SHAKEN status, mitigation plan upload, and annual recertification.
Due Date: March 1 annual recertification. Failure to recertify means upstream carriers must block your traffic.
Step 1: Get Your FRN from CORES
You'll need an FCC Registration Number (FRN) before accessing the RMD portal. If you don't have one, register at apps.fcc.gov/cores first.
Step 2: Access the RMD Portal
Navigate to fccprod.servicenowservices.com/rmd and create an account or log in with your existing FCC credentials.
Step 3: Fill in Company Information
Enter your company's legal name, FRN, business address, and contact details. Ensure the information matches what's on file with the FCC in CORES.
Step 4: Upload Your Robocall Mitigation Plan
Upload a detailed description of the steps your company takes to prevent illegal robocalls from originating on your network. The plan must include specific technical measures, monitoring procedures, and enforcement actions you take against bad actors.
Step 5: Certify Your STIR/SHAKEN Status
Indicate whether your company has fully implemented STIR/SHAKEN, is partially implementing it, or is exempt (e.g., non-IP networks). Small carriers with fewer than 100,000 subscriber lines may qualify for an exemption but still must file a mitigation plan.
Step 6: Submit Your Filing
Review all information, certify that the filing is accurate, and click Submit. You'll receive a confirmation that your company is listed in the RMD.
Step 7: Annual Recertification
Return to the RMD portal before March 1 each year to recertify your filing. Update your mitigation plan if your practices have changed. Failure to recertify by the deadline means intermediate and terminating carriers are required to block your traffic.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not recertifying annually — your RMD entry expires and upstream carriers must block your traffic
- Missing the March 1 deadline — there is no grace period for recertification
- Submitting an incomplete mitigation plan — the FCC requires specific, actionable steps, not generic statements
