How often must agents download the Do Not Call Registry to maintain an accurate list?

Agents must download the Do Not Call Registry every 31 days to ensure their calling lists are up to date and compliant with regulations. This requirement is in place to protect consumer privacy and limits the ability of entities to initiate unsolicited calls to individuals who have opted out of receiving such communications. Regularly updating the list every 31 days helps agents avoid legal penalties and ensures they respect consumer preferences. The specific time frame of 31 days is stipulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, which aim to maintain the integrity of the registry and safeguard consumers who wish to limit unsolicited marketing calls.
