# Spain sender ID registration in AWS End User Messaging SMS All alphanumeric sender IDs used to send SMS messages to Spanish mobile numbers (\+34) must be registered in the CNMC (Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia) National Alias Registry. Unregistered sender IDs cannot deliver messages to Spanish recipients. Unregistered alphanumeric sender IDs are blocked by Spanish mobile operators and cannot deliver messages to Spanish recipients. Generic sender IDs that do not clearly identify your business are not permitted by CNMC and cannot be registered. Dedicated phone numbers (local long codes or short codes, international toll-free numbers) are not affected by this regulation and do not require registration. **Important** New Spain short code provisioning is temporarily on hold. If you need a dedicated number for Spain, request a long code instead. For more information, see [Dedicated phone numbers for Spain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/latest/userguide/dedicated-number-spain.html). **Important** We are currently processing new information about how customers can register their Sender IDs in the CNMC Portal as part of the Spain Sender ID registration process. We will update our public documentation as soon as we have concrete details. The CNMC registration portal requires authentication with a valid digital certificate. The following certificate types are accepted: + A qualifying digital certificate issued by the Spanish government + An eIDAS-compliant qualified digital certificate issued by one of the EU countries listed below Qualifying EU countries for eIDAS certificates: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Sweden. If you do not have a qualifying digital certificate issued by the Spanish government or by one of the qualifying EU countries listed above, you have two options: **Option A: Appoint a representative and register your sender IDs** You must appoint a representative in Spain or a qualifying EU country who holds a valid digital certificate. The representative must also have an apostilled notarized power of attorney authorizing them to act on your behalf. We recommend engaging legal counsel to advise on the process for appointing an authorized representative. **Option B: Switch to dedicated phone numbers for Spain** Dedicated phone numbers (local long codes, international toll-free numbers) are not affected by this regulation and do not require CNMC registration. Note that new short code provisioning for Spain is temporarily on hold; request a long code instead. You can request a dedicated phone number for Spain through the [AWS End User Messaging console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/home). For more information, see [Dedicated phone numbers for Spain](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/latest/userguide/dedicated-number-spain.html). For registration processing timelines, see [Registration processing times](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sms-voice/latest/userguide/registration-eta.html). After you submit your registration at the CNMC portal, CNMC sends a verification email to the representative email address you provided. You (or your representative) must then log into the portal with the qualifying digital certificate and approve the registration within 10 business days. If you registered your sender ID with multiple downstream providers, you may receive a separate verification request for each provider.
