10DLC registration how to is the abbreviated task query. Teams type it when they want order of operations, not a definition. The Campaign Registry (TCR) still receives two posts: identity, then program.
Task Order
Gather the legal name and tax identifier from official records. Put SMS language on privacy and terms pages. Open the Campaign Service Provider (CSP) that owns the 10-Digit Long Codes (10DLC). Post the brand. Wait for the trust score. Post one campaign per live program with samples, opt-in evidence, and STOP language. Leave the public site unchanged during review. Attach numbers after both statuses read approved. Keep STOP working and store Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) consent artifacts for four or more years.
That is the how-to. There is no public consumer form that skips the CSP for most brands.
Timing Embedded in the How-To
Identity often returns in 1–3 business days when records match. Programs often occupy 1–10 business days. Trust scores under 50 often add 7–10 business days of manual identity review. Start the how-to three to four weeks before the first promised send.
FAQ
Is “how to” different from “how to do”?
