SMS Sender ID registration checklist

Before starting an application to register alphanumeric SMS Sender IDs, we recommend reviewing this checklist.

✅GoFax Client Admin login credentials. Ensure your login details are available for your Account Owner or Admin User. 

✅Review SMS Sender ID formatting requirements. Organisations should review all the Sender IDs they plan to register to ensure they meet ACMA's criteria.

✅Ensure SMS Sender IDs meet valid use case requirements. A sender ID must be clearly linked to your organisation. See more on valid use case criteria. 

✅Check/update your authorised contacts on the ABR. Sender ID registration requires verification against the Australian Business Register (ABR). Organisations should ensure that:

  • Their ABN details are up to date

  • Authorised contacts (public officer, director, or authorised representative) are correctly listed.

✅Set up a myID Digital ID. ACMA Sender ID registration will also require authentication using myID (formerly myGovID). If organisations don’t already have one, we recommend setting up a myID Digital ID for an authorised person in your organisation in advance.

Registration for SMS Sender IDs in GoFax is coming soon!

More user guides for businesses and organisations can be found on the ACMA website.
