International Do Not Call Lists by Country
DNC LATAM · Compliance guides
Most developed markets operate a Do Not Call registry: a government or industry list of phone numbers that telemarketers are legally required to suppress before calling. The rules, regulators and data access vary widely by country, and so does coverage by commercial scrubbing providers.
Do Not Call registries by country
| Country | Registry | Operator | Commercial data access |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | National DNC Registry | FTC | Subscription via telemarketing.donotcall.gov |
| United Kingdom | TPS / CTPS | DMA (under Ofcom) | Licensed data feed |
| Canada | National DNCL | CRTC | Subscription per area code |

The coverage gap: Latin America
International scrubbing providers typically cover the US, UK, Canada and Australia, the registries with English-language commercial access. Mexico REPEP (PROFECO), Argentina Registro Nacional No Llame (AAIP), and Colombia RNE (CRC) run equally mandatory registries with active enforcement, but their data is published only through local channels. Mexico distributes REPEP extracts zone by zone through a Spanish-language PROFECO system, Argentina requires a local AAIP registry-user registration, and Colombia's RNE is consulted through the CRC. The result: most global compliance stacks silently exclude the largest Spanish-speaking calling markets. A US National DNC / TCPA scrub does not replace those three checks. See DNC scrubbing vs US TCPA.
What compliant international calling looks like
- Map every destination country to its registry and regulator (table above).
- Source each registry through its official channel, or through a provider that does.
- Scrub each campaign list against the current release before dialing, and keep dated screening records.
For the LATAM gap specifically, DNC LATAM puts official Mexico REPEP, Argentina No Llame, and Colombia RNE checks behind one DNC API, with 10,000 scrubs a month per selected country. Each country is its own SKU and activates immediately after successful payment. See the country guides for Mexico REPEP, Argentina No Llame, and Colombia RNE, or the side-by-side Mexico vs Argentina vs Colombia. Personas: contact centers, debt collectors. Spain, Australia, and Singapore are coming soon. Contact us. Assisted company-held registration for those and other markets is a separate service, not API coverage.
