For providers in the FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database
Check your RMD filing before you recertify it.
Between February 1 and March 1, an officer at your company certifies that everything in your filing is still accurate, including your robocall mitigation plan. Our free check reads your public filing and plan next to the FCC's guidance and emails you what's worth a second look.
Quiet Deadline is independent and not affiliated with the FCC. You can make both March 1 filings directly with the FCC at no charge, and we show you how below.
What the check finds in real filings
We ran our check on 97 randomly chosen public filings on October 31, 2026. Most had something worth confirming before an officer certifies it again.
Why accuracy matters more this year
Since February 5, 2026, the FCC's base fine is $10,000 for each violation when a filer submits false or inaccurate information to the database, and $1,000 for not updating changed information within 10 business days (FCC 24‑135). Recertifying is your officer's statement that everything on file is still accurate, so it's the natural moment to look.
An item is something to confirm, not a finding that a company breaks the rules. The check describes what a filing says next to the FCC's published guidance; it isn't legal advice.
What the free check sends you
Enter your RMD number, or your company's FRN, and the email address for the results. We pull your filing and mitigation plan from the FCC's public database, read them the same way our paid report does, and email you a numbered list: each item, with one line on what to do about it.
If nothing stands out, we say so. Either way, the check is yours to keep, and you can act on it yourself.
Here's what we found when we read Kestrel Voice Networks' public Robocall Mitigation Database filing and its robocall mitigation plan next to the FCC's guidance.
2 items worth checking before you recertify:
- Call analytics in your plan
Name your call analytics system or vendor in your plan; it currently describes analytics only in general terms. - Your STIR/SHAKEN option
Check that your plan explains your partial implementation without relying on an expired extension.
Two filings, one deadline
Providers in the FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database recertify their filings every year by March 1. Telecom carriers and interconnected VoIP providers also file their annual CPNI certification the same day.
Robocall Mitigation Database recertification
Someone logs in to the FCC's database and confirms that everything in your filing is still accurate, including your STIR/SHAKEN certification and your robocall mitigation plan, and an officer e-signs. Updating your filing during the year doesn't count. Recertifying is a separate step that only appears during the February window.

What we don't do
- Recertify for you. It has to be done from your own FCC login.

- Give legal advice or decide whether your company complies. For that, talk to telecom counsel.
Refunds and multiple filings
If your documents don't save you time, email us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
Have several RMD filings? Each purchase covers one filing, so check out once for each RMD number.
You can file both yourself, at no cost
Plenty of companies do. The FCC publishes everything you need, and these are the same documents we work from. We're for teams who would rather spend twenty minutes than an afternoon.

Questions
Are you the FCC, or working with them?
No. Quiet Deadline is an independent business with no connection to the FCC or any government agency. We prepare documents that help you complete filings the FCC requires, and you can always file directly with the FCC instead.
Why did we get an email from you?
Your company's Robocall Mitigation Database filing is public on the FCC's website, and it lists you as the robocall mitigation contact. We email that contact about the March 1 filings. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and once you use it we won't email you again.
Is the free check really free?
Yes. There's no payment step and nothing to sign up for. We email your results, and before March 1 we may send one or two reminders about the filings; each has an unsubscribe link. If you order the report afterwards, it explains each item your check found in detail.
Is the FCC changing the rules?
Two things are worth knowing as of November 2, 2026. First, rules in effect since February 5, 2026 set a base fine of $10,000 per violation for false or inaccurate information in the database, and $1,000 for not updating a filing within 10 business days of a change (FCC 24‑135).
Second, in July 2026 the FCC proposed more changes (FCC 26‑49): new certifications in every filing, mitigation plans that cover all illegal calls rather than only robocalls, more detail on STIR/SHAKEN exemptions, and faster removal of filers that don't comply. These are proposals only, and they haven't been adopted. If the FCC adopts them before March 1, we'll update this page and every report we prepare.
Do you file for us?
For the CPNI certification, yes. With the CPNI Certification or the March 1 Bundle, we submit your signed certification in ECFS and send you the confirmation. The RMD recertification has to be done from your own FCC login with your officer's e-signature, so the report walks you through it instead.
How do you know what's in our filing?
Robocall Mitigation Database filings are public, including the mitigation plan. Your check and your report are built from what the database shows for your company on the day we prepare them, and they list the date we viewed it.
Is there an FCC fee?
Neither filing has an FCC fee in effect. The FCC has said a $100 annual fee for the Robocall Mitigation Database will apply once it announces the fee, and as of its July 9, 2026 FAQ it hadn't. We never charge or collect government fees.
What if something in our filing looks wrong?
Your check lists anything worth a second look, and your report explains each item and quotes the FCC guidance behind it. Both describe what your filing says; they don't decide whether you comply. For that kind of question, we recommend telecom counsel.
We have more than one filing.
Each RMD filing gets its own report, so check out once for each RMD number. The FCC wants a separate CPNI certification for each affiliate with its own Form 499 Filer ID, so the same goes for CPNI certifications and bundles: one purchase per company.
When do we get our documents?
By email, usually within a few minutes of your order and always within one business day. CPNI certifications arrive the same way after you send your questionnaire.
What's your refund policy?
If your documents don't save you time, email us within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you in full.
