WHAT IS CAMPAIGN VERIFY? WHY GET VERIFIED?

Campaign Verify is an organization that validates that political campaigns, PACs, and committees are who they say they are. 

Once verified, a political campaign will receive an authorization token that allows them access to high-volume and high-speed messaging from 10DLC numbers. 

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

HOW DO I GET VERIFIED? HOW DO I GET A TOKEN?

Step 1: If you are new to Campaign Verify, please sign up at app.campaignverify.org to create your account.

Step 2: Once you’re signed up and logged into the portal, click “+New Verification Request,” and select a State/Local or a Federal submission form, depending on the type of committee. 

Step 3: Follow the instructions on the form and provide all required information. Make sure the information is current and matches the information listed on your online filing record with the FEC or a State, Local or Tribal election authority.

Step 4: After payment, your request will be submitted to Campaign Verify for manual processing. Once approved, you’ll receive a six-digit PIN code. The PIN will only be sent to either the email address, phone number, or postal address listed on the online filing record. This PIN unlocks the authorization token. 

Step 5: Once you receive the PIN, log back into Campaign Verify at https://app.campaignverify.org/, click on your submission, and enter the PIN. Once the PIN is successfully entered, you may generate an Authorization Token.

For more detailed instructions, see this guide.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CAMPAIGN VERIFY?

You will need an EIN and a public filing in order to complete the verification process. 

EIN

Getting an EIN is quick and easy. You’ll just need to fill out this form: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/apply-for-an-employer-identification-number-ein-online

Public filing

For Federally registered committees, you should find a link to your filing record on the FEC’s website: https://www.fec.gov/data/.

For State, Local, and Tribal committees, you should find a link to your filing record on the website of the relevant election authority. In most cases, this will be on the Secretary of State’s website, or the county or municipal government’s website. To assist you with your search, we have provided a list of State-level domains here.

Campaign Verify accepts a variety of current online filings such as: campaign finance forms, organizational reports, election and committee listings, and additional election authority documentation that displays the entity is active and lists a campaign postal address, email address and/or phone number.

Campaign Verify will not accept any filings that are not provided directly by the election authority.

The information on your Campaign Verify form must match the most recent public filing record. If you are missing information, if information has been redacted, or the contact information is no longer accessible which will impact how you receive your PIN - you will need to contact the Campaign Verify support team and describe your situation to find a solution.
