Regulatory Compliance (RC) requirements for phone numbers have increased worldwide. We have been working with regulators to ensure that phone numbers you provision are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. As part of this engagement, we made an important change to the Twilio Phone Number Provisioning API.

You should have received email communications about this change if you use this API for phone numbers outside the US and Canada. To reiterate:

Starting September 10, 2019, the Phone Number Provisioning API will require you to provide an address for any new regulated number you provision. If you don’t include a valid address, you will receive error code 21631.

You can find address requirements for the country where you are provisioning numbers on our Phone Number Regulations page.

Previously, address requirements were not enforced through the API. You …
