What Is Campaign Verify?

Campaign Verify is a third-party service that confirms the legitimacy of political campaigns, committees, and PACs.  They check public filings and issue a vetting token. Without this token, political committees cannot register for 10DLC phone numbers.


Campaign Verify Registration, Step-by-Step
The first step in 10DLC registration for political campaigns, PACs, and committees is going through the Campaign Verify process.
