Robocall Mitigation Database annual renewal deadline

January 27, 2026

Service providers must recertify their filing in the Robocall Mitigation Database annually. The due date is approaching. Let’s have a look.

Rules for providers

The rules are intended to promote accuracy and completeness of the Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) and the CORES system, which automatically populates a filer’s contact information in RMD certification filings. Here are the highlights:

An entity with a CORES filing must update its filing within 10 business days after a change in information occurs.
- This harmonizes with the update requirement already in place for RMD certification filings.
Providers must recertify annually in the RMD.
Filers must pay a $100 fee with their initial certification filing and with each annual recertification submission.
The rules include a base forfeiture of $10,000 for each violation of submitting false or inaccurate information.
There is a base forfeiture of $1,000 for failure to update information that has changed in the RMD within 10 business days.

Rules for the Wireline Competition Bureau

The updated rules require the WCB to do the following:

Issue additional guidance, educational materials, and best practices for filing in the RMD.
Develop a two-factor authentication solution for accessing the RMD.

The rules document is titled “Improving the Effectiveness of the Robocall Mitigation Database; CORES Registration System.”

Timeline

February 1, 2026: The RMD recertification window opens.
March 1, 2026: This is the deadline for this year’s annual recertification of RMD filings.
