Questions · RMD recertification, updates and removal

What changes must we update in the Robocall Mitigation Database within 10 business days?

Short answer

Any change to the information in your filing: business names or address, principals, affiliates, ownership, your robocall mitigation contact, your role in the call chain, your STIR/SHAKEN option, and the practices or analytics vendors in your plan. Update within 10 business days of the change (47 CFR § 64.6305(d)(5)); a late update carries a $1,000 base forfeiture, continuing until cured.

Where each change goes

Paragraphs cited for voice service providers; gateway and non-gateway intermediate providers have the same duties in § 64.6305(e) and (f).

Details that trip providers up

  • CORES has its own 10-business-day deadline, and a CORES update that lags makes the RMD late too (FCC FAQ 16).
  • Every revision is re-signed: the declaration must be completed again before you submit (FCC filing instructions, July 2026). Updates carry no FCC fee (DA 26-72).
  • A revision is not your annual recertification, still due by March 1 (FCC FAQ 16).
  • If the Governance Authority revokes your SPC token, you need not update on that basis until your review or appeal periods run out (§ 64.6305(d)(5)(i)–(ii)).
  • Your Form 499-A registration runs on a shorter clock: changes to it are due within one week (§ 64.1195(g)).
  • If you stop providing voice service, delete the filing or update it to say so (FCC FAQ 16).
