Important: This page does not display the types of numbers available for purchase. If you are looking to buy new numbers, see the Zendesk number availability and pricing page. Use the dropdown menu next to 'My Talk line is in' to view the available number offerings.

Before you can utilize certain numbers with Zendesk, you may be required to provide regulatory information and documentation. This is applicable to all numbers, irrespective of whether you are directly purchasing new numbers from Zendesk or planning to port existing numbers to Zendesk.

The need for a business verification arises from specific regulations in certain countries. These rules mandate businesses to verify their identity by associating an approved regulatory bundle with a number, and in some instances, registering your business information and use case.

This guide will walk you through the process of gathering and submitting the necessary regulatory information and documents to ensure compliance with the latest regulatory requirements, including restrictions and porting documents.

Identifying Regulatory Requirements

Start by selecting a country to review the specific regulatory data required. Depending on the country, you may also find details about porting and any restrictions set by the country's regulator.

Please be aware of these important points as you gather the documentation.

• All submitted documents (e.g., the business registration document) must be dated within the past 3 months. Submissions with documents older than this will be declined.
• For countries needing an 'Executed Letter of Authorization', click here, make a copy, and fill it out with your details.
• Where an authorized representative is required, an authorized representative is someone the business designates to act on its behalf, often listed on official documents or provided with a notarized power of attorney as proof of authority.
• PO Box is not acceptable where a local address is required.

Submitting a Business Verification

After reviewing the necessary information and assembling the required documentation, you have two options for submission:

• Self-Service Submission: You can choose to self-serve and submit your business verification by following the instructions provided on the Verifying your business for Zendesk phone number purchasing page.
• Assisted Submission: If you require assistance, you can reach out to Zendesk Customer Support. They will guide you through the process of submitting your business verification, provided you have the necessary information based on the list of countries.

Note: Certain messaging submissions must be done via a form (i.e., A2P 10DLC). If a form is required, a link to the form will be provided, and next steps explained in the form.

Review Process

The review process can take up to 3 business days. It's crucial to factor in this timeline when planning to add a new number to your account. If you sent a self-service submission, you will be able to review the status in the Business Verification tab. If you contacted Zendesk Customer Support, they will keep you updated on your submission status.

The timeline for messaging submissions will be detailed separately in each section.

Post-Approval Process

Once your business verification (regulatory bundle) is approved, you can proceed with adding a new line or starting the port-in process.

Remember that certain number types can only be added by contacting Zendesk Customer Support as pointed in the Zendesk number availability and pricing page.

Note: Outbound calls from toll-free numbers are not supported. For more information see this article.

Authorization of Representative	One of the following: Certified copy of Articles of Incorporation or By-laws registered by the competent commercial register designating the individual as an authorized representative Power of attorney Certified copy of a Corporate registration registered by the competent commercial register designating the individual as an authorized representative

Brazil: Documentation Guidelines

In Brazil, when a company is registered, the relevant document issued is the "Cadastro Nacional de Pessoas Jurídicas (CNPJ)" certificate, provided by the Brazilian National Registry of Legal Entities. This certificate serves as the business registration document, confirming the company's legal existence and registration status. It can be downloaded from the official website. 

Anatel, the Brazilian telecommunications regulator, limits the number of toll-free numbers to five per CNPJ. Exceeding this risks service interruption. To keep more than five toll-free numbers, submit separate verification bundles with unique CNPJs.

For example, to keep 25 toll-free numbers, submit five bundles, each with a unique CNPJ mapped to five toll-free numbers.

Phone Number Regulations

Please note: Ofcom, the UK's telecom regulator, has updated telecom regulations, requiring a new business verification (regulatory bundle) for all UK numbers.

From September 30, 2024, all UK numbers must have an bundle approved.

Self-Service submission using the Business Verification tab is unavailable. Contact Zendesk Customer Support with the required information to purchase new numbers and to submit a regulatory bundle for numbers in your account.

If the necessary documentation for the regulatory compliance bundle isn't provided in time for review, processing, and approval, there is a risk of being non-compliant. This could lead to potential call and message blocking, and possible number reclamation that could occur at any time after this date.

SMS Guidelines

UK carriers will block any SMS messages sent to the UK from international numbers. Therefore, to communicate with UK customers via SMS, you must use a domestic UK phone number that is capable of sending messages.

Porting Guidelines

Portable numbers	Geographic (local) numbers (+44 1,+44 2) Mobile numbers (+44 7) Non-geographic (national) numbers (+44 3) Non-geographic (toll-free) numbers (+44 808, +44 800)
Restrictions	Most international phone numbers have VOICE capability only. Only Mobile numbers have VOICE and SMS Most numbers are portable. In rare cases, some numbers are not. This is either because some service providers assign phone numbers, or because some providers do not have porting agreements with the major network operators
Required information	For Geographic and Non-geographic numbers: Letter of Authorization (LoA) dated within the last 30 days. You can copy the LoA template, fill it in, then upload it to the Console. If you want to port both Geographic and Non-geographic numbers, you must fill in two separate LOAs (one for each) Applicable regulatory compliance documentation (above) Copy of the most recent phone bill (within last 30 days)
Timeframe	After you've submitted all required documentation and information: For both Geographic (local) and Non-geographic numbers, it can take up to six weeks, depending on the complexity of the port and time required by the current service provider For mobile numbers, it can take up to five - seven business days
Regulatory bodies	The Office of Communications (OFCOM)
Other details	The most common reasons for a rejected port include: Incorrect postcode Single versus multi-line geographic numbers. Associated numbers must be ported together as a range. To determine whether your number is a single- or multi-line number, reach out to your current service provider.  Incorrect current provider and or range holder information. Check with your current provider and the range holder of your phone number(s) Click to check the range holder. However, information about the current provider can only be confirmed by that provider After you have this information, add the current provider on the LOA in the Current Operator field. You can leave the New Operator field blank.
How to submit	Contact the Zendesk support team with the required documentation and information.
