France has published new regulations requiring validation with AF2M to use certain senders.
Release date: 22/04/2026
Shippers requiring validation
Two typologies of shippers require prior validation with AF2M:
- Senders from a list defined by AF2M to combat misleading communications
- The use of special characters
When creating an SMS sender from Sendingly's administration, all these rules are checked.

Request authorization from AF2M
When these rules must be surpassed in order to guarantee clear brand identification from the sender, authorization may be requested.
With the help of a support request, support teams will take care of making this request to the relevant organizations.
