Sole Proprietor A2P Registration Reinstated with Enhanced Identity Verification
Sole Proprietor A2P Registration Update: A2P registration for sole proprietors is now re-enabled in Clixio, allowing individuals and small businesses without an EIN to complete their A2P registration. This update introduces mandatory identity verification to enhance compliance and meet carrier standards.
Identity Verification Requirement
: All Sole Proprietor registrations now require identity verification, which is initiated at the final step of the registration process, just before submission.
Unchanged Registration Flow
: The existing Sole Proprietor registration flow, including form structure and validations, remains unchanged to ensure a familiar user experience.
What This Means for Users:
Enhanced Compliance: The addition of identity verification strengthens compliance with carrier regulations, thereby reducing the risk of fraud and abuse in the messaging ecosystem.
Seamless User Experience: Despite the added verification step, the registration process remains straightforward and user-friendly.
Immediate Effect: Users can now proceed with Sole Proprietor A2P registration, completing the necessary identity verification to finalise their registration.
When Verification is Triggered:
Verification is always triggered at the final step, after business and campaign information has been submitted, and before submission.
- User completes Sole Proprietor-specific A2P registration steps
- Before final submission, the user is prompted to verify their identity
- Upon success, submission is completed and the campaign is created
What the Verification Step Looks Like:
- A live selfie with simple head movements
- Upload or capture of a valid government-issued ID
- Instant result: Users are returned to the flow immediately upon success
