TCR Readiness Assessment
Comprehensive audit evaluates brand documentation, compliance infrastructure, and campaign design against TCR requirements
Complete this audit before brand registration to identify gaps that trigger rejection codes. Pre-validated submissions reduce approval timelines from 7-10 days to 24-48 hours.
Brand Documentation
-
IRS-issued Employer Identification Number required for all business entities. Sole proprietors must use SSN or obtain EIN.
-
Brand name must match IRS records, business license, and domain registration to avoid error code 603.
-
Physical business address required (no PO boxes). Address must match business registration and public records.
Business Verification
-
Dun & Bradstreet Universal Numbering System identifier significantly improves TCR trust score and approval speed.
-
Domain age impacts trust score. Newer domains (<6 months) may trigger manual review or rejection.
-
Google My Business, Yelp, or industry review platforms validate business legitimacy and customer satisfaction.
Website Compliance
-
HTTPS required. Broken SSL certificates trigger error code 2103 and automatic rejection.
-
Privacy policy must include SMS consent, data usage, third-party sharing, and opt-out mechanisms to prevent error code 7100.
-
TCPA requires clear disclosure of message frequency and standard carrier rates in accessible location.
Consent Infrastructure
-
Brand name, message type, frequency, cost, STOP/HELP keywords, terms/privacy links required to avoid error codes 2113-2121.
-
TCPA requires explicit user action. Pre-checked boxes violate express written consent requirements.
-
Audit-ready documentation protects against TCPA litigation. Records must be retained 4+ years.
Campaign Design
-
Every message must identify sender and provide opt-out mechanism to comply with TCPA Section 227(b)(1)(C).
-
Mismatched use cases trigger error code 2003. Marketing requires different attributes than transactional messaging.
-
Carrier policies prohibit SHAFT content plus cannabis/CBD, payday loans, debt relief, and crypto promotions.

This audit provides high-level guidance based on common TCR requirements. Results do not guarantee approval as carrier decisions depend on additional factors including trust score algorithms, recent messaging history, and use case-specific criteria. Organizations should consult qualified legal counsel for TCPA compliance guidance and consider platform-assisted registration for complex use cases.
