Ohio Do-Not-Call List
State DNC registry requirements for Ohio
You must scrub against BOTH the federal National DNC Registry AND the Ohio state DNC list before making calls in this state. Scrubbing only the federal list is not sufficient.
Ohio Do Not Call Registry
Covers
Ohio's DNC registry operates through the federal NDNC — numbers registered federally are automatically on Ohio's list (ORC Ann. 109.87). Telemarketer registration fee: $250 annually (certified check or money order payable to "Ohio Attorney General"). A $50,000 surety bond is required. Registration must be renewed annually. The Telemarketing Registration and Enforcement Unit (30 E. Broad St., Columbus, OH 43215) administers the program. Registration fees fund the Telemarketing Fraud Enforcement Fund. Consumer registration is free via donotcall.gov or 1-888-382-1222. Penalties: $1,000-$25,000 per violation (civil, by AG); violation of the Solicitor's Act is a 5th degree felony. Permitted hours: 8am-9pm.
Federal National DNC Registry (Always Required)
You must scrub the federal list regardless of whether Ohio has its own list. There is no opt-out from federal DNC compliance.
