RMD Database and Robocall Mitigation in 2026: Confirmed Requirements, KYC Predictions, and What AI Voice Providers Must Do Now
The Robocall Mitigation Database stopped being a one-time filing in 2026. New FCC rules now carry a $10,000 base fine for inaccurate filings, annual recertification is mandatory every March 1, and two separate rulemakings adopted this spring, Know Your Customer and Know Your Upstream Provider, are about to reshape how voice providers vet their customers and their upstream partners. This guide separates what the FCC has already confirmed from what is still proposed, and breaks down what traditional voice providers and AI voice agent vendors each need to do differently in 2026. If you operate any kind of PSTN-connected voice service, this is the regulatory map you need before your next RMD recertification window.
