# 30502: Toll Free verification rejection - Political campaigns must submit FEC ID

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

The Toll-Free phone number verification submission has been reviewed and it was rejected. Messaging traffic on this Toll-Free number is blocked until it's verified.

Verification is one component of ensuring A2P SMS is used by businesses in a legal and compliant manner. The review process looks at the business sending messaging (not the software powering it), the use case, sample content, the web presence, the opt-in/consent collected and associated website terms and privacy policies.

### Possible causes

Your submission indicates a political campaign, but:

* No Federal Election Commission (FEC) Committee ID was provided for federal-level campaigns
* No state committee registration number was provided for state-level campaigns
* The provided identification could not be verified

### Possible solutions

* For federal-level campaigns: Submit a valid FEC Committee ID
* For state-level campaigns: Submit a state committee registration number or equivalent official documentation
* Include this information in the "Additional Information" field when resubmitting
* Ensure all registration numbers are current and verifiable
