RMD registered. TRACED Act compliant.

The RMD is an FCC database where voice service providers must file certifications about their STIR/SHAKEN implementation and robocall mitigation programs. Established under the TRACED Act of 2019, the RMD ensures every carrier on the US telephone network has either implemented STIR/SHAKEN or has a documented program to prevent illegal robocall traffic. Carriers not registered may have their traffic blocked by downstream carriers.

Yes. SIPNEX maintains an active RMD filing with complete STIR/SHAKEN implementation. We hold our own SP-KI certificate and sign every IP-originated call with STIR/SHAKEN attestation. Our filing is publicly verifiable at fccprod.servicenowservices.com/rmd.

The FCC prohibits intermediate and terminating carriers from accepting traffic from voice service providers not registered in the RMD. In practice, major terminating carriers (serving T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon subscribers) increasingly block traffic from non-registered originators. Your calls may fail to complete — the recipient's phone never rings — and the blocking is invisible to your dialer (no error message, just silence).

Search the FCC's RMD portal at fccprod.servicenowservices.com/rmd. Enter your carrier's name and verify they have an active filing. Check the filing type (complete STIR/SHAKEN implementation vs mitigation program only) and the filing date (filings must be updated annually — an expired filing is effectively no filing).

The Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act) was signed into law in December 2019. It directed the FCC to mandate STIR/SHAKEN implementation, established the Robocall Mitigation Database, increased penalties for illegal robocalling, extended the statute of limitations for robocall violations, and required carriers to provide call-blocking tools to consumers at no charge.

SIPNEX's program includes: complete STIR/SHAKEN implementation (every IP call signed with our SP-KI certificate), Know Your Customer (KYC) verification for all accounts, real-time traffic monitoring for patterns associated with illegal robocalling, Acceptable Use Policy enforcement with service suspension capability, and cooperation with the Industry Traceback Group (ITG) for traceback requests.

Traceback is the process of identifying the source carrier of illegal robocall traffic by tracing the call path from the recipient back to the originator. The Industry Traceback Group (ITG) coordinates traceback efforts across carriers. SIPNEX cooperates with all ITG traceback requests as required by FCC rules. If illegal traffic is traced to our network, we investigate and take enforcement action against the responsible account.

Your carrier's RMD registration is a prerequisite for your calls reaching the terminating network. Without it, downstream carriers may block your traffic. With it (plus STIR/SHAKEN signing), your calls enter the network as authenticated traffic from a compliant carrier. RMD registration is the network-access layer. STIR/SHAKEN attestation is the per-call trust layer. You need both.
