Providers that missed the RMD recertification get a second deadline

The FCC is sending notices to voice service providers that missed the March 1, 2026 deadline to recertify their Robocall Mitigation Database filings, according to The CommLaw Group on October 26. One notice the firm reviewed sets a November 6 deadline. The firm says it has not confirmed a universal extension or that every notice carries the same date. The notices are not public, and the advisory gives no count of recipients.

Missing a recertification can end in removal from the RMD, after which other providers may not accept the filer’s traffic. The Enforcement Bureau removed 1,203 non-compliant filers in 2025, directed 35 more to cure their filings in March (DA 26-282), and removed Digital Solutions on October 5. The firm notes base forfeitures of $10,000 per violation for false or inaccurate RMD information and $1,000 for failing to update a changed filing within 10 business days.

The pending RMD further notice (FCC 26-49) proposes automatic suspension and annual expiration of filings. Under that proposal, a missed recertification would lapse on its own. Today it gets a letter and a second date.
