Required regulatory documentation for alphanumerics ID purchase

AI-generated summary

Genesys Cloud requires organizations to register Alphanumeric Sender IDs (ASIDs) across multiple regulated jurisdictions to ensure SMS delivery compliance and prevent message blocking or replacement with generic labels. ASID registration processes vary significantly by jurisdiction but follow a standardized workflow: local regulatory registry registration, submission of details to Genesys Cloud, aggregator processing, and ASID provisioning in SMS Inventory upon approval. All ASIDs must directly correspond with business names, trademarks, products, or recognized abbreviations and are valid for a maximum of 24 months from approval. All registration submissions must include company details, authorized representative information, and activation/end dates. If unspecified, ASIDs activate the day after approval and default to the full 24-month validity period. Organizations must contact genesyscloudsms@genesys.com to initiate registration and maintain accurate authorized representative details for all updates. Processing times extend up to three months through September 2026. Jurisdiction-specific requirements include: Australia mandates ACMA registration by June 30, 2026, with unregistered ASIDs labeled as Unverified or Blocked starting July 1, 2026, requiring ABR account details, ABN, and supporting documentation if the ASID differs from the business name. Finland implemented mandatory Traficom registration effective April 10, 2026, with an annual EUR 200 fee and unregistered sender IDs replaced with "Tuntematon" by May 4, 2026; approved ASIDs receive an SMS number beginning with 19 for operator API identification. Ireland requires ComReg Sender ID Registry registration effective July 3, 2025, with unregistered IDs replaced with "Likely Scam," involving first-come, first-served ASID requests and designation of Sinch Sweden AB as the Original Participating Aggregator. France classifies certain ASIDs as ISA (prohibited until authorized), requiring prior authorization and a Letter of Authorization, while non-ISA ASIDs can be provisioned immediately. Italy mandates AGCOM registration with unregistered ASIDs blocked from delivery, requiring PEC email, fiscal code/VAT number, and alternative opt-out mechanisms within promotional messages due to GDPR requirements. Spain mandates pre-registration in the National Alias Registry (CNMC) before June 6, 2026, requiring a valid digital certificate and Sinch Communications Spain SL as the Originating Provider, with approval typically taking up to one month; the portal operates exclusively in Spanish with automatic logout after 4–5 minutes of inactivity. Singapore requires direct SSIR registration with Sinch Singapore Pte Ltd as the Participating Aggregator, incurring one-time setup fees and annual per-ASID fees, with unregistered ASIDs displaying as "Likely Scam." Slovakia and Slovenia have minimal documentation requirements, requiring only basic company and ASID information. The United Kingdom distinguishes between protected ASIDs designated by mobile network operators (MEF and BT/EE), which require registration and allow-list addition, and non-protected ASIDs, which can be provisioned without completing the registration process; protected ASIDs undergo individual review and may require additional documentation or information.

Regulatory requirements for Alphanumeric Sender IDs (ASIDs) vary by country. In the countries listed below, you must complete registration and submit supporting documentation before using an ASID for messaging. If you use an unregistered ASID in these countries, messages may be blocked or fail to deliver.

Review each country’s requirements to identify any mandatory ASID registrations. After you prepare the required materials, email genesyscloudsms@genesys.comto start the ASID registration process. If you have questions, contact the same email address.

ItalyClick to expand

Italy requires all ASIDs to be registered with the national regulator (AGCOM) before they can be used for SMS messaging. This is a mandatory requirement, meaning unregistered ASIDs will be blocked or not delivered.

Note: Under Italian privacy and GDPR requirements, promotional and marketing messages must include a clear method for individuals to opt out. As ASIDs do not support inbound messaging, recipients cannot reply directly to the message to opt out. Therefore, it is recommended that an alternative opt-out mechanism such as a website link or toll-free phone number is provided within the message.

To comply with regulations from the Spanish regulator (CNMC), businesses that send messages to Spain using alphanumeric sender IDs (ASIDs) must register their ASIDs in the National Alias Registry. Effective June 6, 2026, operators block messages sent with unregistered ASIDs. To ensure message delivery, register your ASIDs before sending messages to Spain.

How to register your ASID in Spain?

If your certificate does not get accepted, you can perform manually. See Digital Certification.

To avoid losing your progress, save your request as a draft by selecting GUARDAR BORRADOR. You can return later and continue working on the same request.
The first section of the form contains fields for your organization's information.

- Third Party Email: Enter the email address of the End Client or the individual in the End Client's organization who is submitting the request.
- Third Party Phone: Optional. If provided, enter the phone number of the End Client or the individual submitting the request.
The next section requests your organization's address information. Although the address fields appear optional, you must complete them before you can submit the request. Complete all address fields to avoid delays.
In the Request Type section, select Inscripción de Alias.
In the next section, enter your organization's authorized representative information.
- Select the Recibir notificaciones checkbox to ensure that the authorized representative receives email notifications about the registration status and updates.
In the next section, enter the ASID information and identify the other parties involved in the registration.
1. Click Añadir alias.
2. Enter the ASID information in the required fields.
  Note: In Spain, ASIDs are valid for a maximum of 24 months. If you do not specify an activation date, the ASID becomes active the day after the CNMC approves the registration. If you do not specify an end date, the portal automatically assigns the maximum validity period of 24 months.
After you enter the ASID information, add the participating aggregator.
1. Search for Sinch Communications Spain SL.
2. Click AÑADIR PROVEEDOR.
Next, add the Third Party (TERCEROS) information.

Note: The CNMC requires Third Party Representative information before you can submit the registration request.
When the representative details dialog box appears, contact genesyscloudsms@genesys.com to obtain the required Genesys representative information.
Enter the representative information.
Select the Recibir notificaciones checkbox.
Click Añadir representante.

Step 3: Submit the applicationClick to expand

Verify that you have entered all required information correctly. Select the confirmation checkbox to certify that the request is legitimate and that you accept the applicable terms.
Click REVISAR Y PRESENTAR to review your submission.
If the portal does not identify any errors, it opens the final review page. Review the information, select the confirmation checkbox at the bottom of the page, and click PRESENTAR to submit the registration request.
After you submit the request, the CNMC reviews the registration. If the CNMC requires additional information or corrections, it notifies you. You must respond within 10 working days; otherwise, the CNMC considers the request withdrawn.
After the CNMC completes its initial review, the authorized representative receives an email with instructions to complete the required verification and validation process.
When you log in to the portal to begin the verification process, select Autorización de alias.
During the verification process, the portal may prompt you to re-enter your organization's or the Third Party's (Genesys) information, as described in Step 2.
Enter the requested information to continue.

Note: The CNMC reviews and validates the registration request. The review process typically takes up to one month. However, because these regulations were recently introduced, processing may take up to three months until September 2026.

After your ASID is approved by the CNMC, send an email with the information in the table below to genesyscloudsms@genesys.com.

How to register your ASID in UK?
