New ID Verification Now Required for US/CA/PR Number Purchases on SalesEdge.io

July 29, 20252 min read

To improve security and ensure compliance with telecom regulations, SalesEdge.io has added a simple identity verification step when purchasing phone numbers in the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico.

This new requirement is designed to protect all users by preventing fraud and supporting trustworthy communication channels. Once your account completes this short verification process, you won't need to do it again for future phone number purchases or messaging compliance steps.

When You’ll Need to Verify

Identity verification is only needed if:

  • You’re purchasing a phone number in the U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico (country code +1)

  • Your account has not previously completed identity verification through SalesEdge.io

Once completed, this one-time verification covers everything from A2P brand registration to toll-free number verification and CNAM setups—no repeated steps required.

Here’s How It Works

  1. You Begin a Phone Number Purchase
    If your account hasn’t completed verification yet, a secure identity check window will appear during the purchase process.

  2. Upload Your ID
    You’ll be prompted to upload a clear photo of a government-issued ID, such as a passport or driver’s license.

  3. Complete a Quick Selfie Check
    Using your webcam or smartphone, you’ll take a live selfie so we can confirm your identity matches the ID provided.

  4. Phone Number Purchase Completed Automatically
    As soon as your documents are verified, the purchase finishes without additional steps. It’s seamless and secure.

Important Note: This is a one-time process per account. Once you're verified, this step won’t come up again for future number purchases or compliance actions.

Why This Matters

  • Meets carrier requirements for identity validation

  • Keeps the platform safe from misuse and fraud

  • Ensures a smooth experience for trusted users
