TCPA Consent Language Checker with Sample TCPA Consent Language Examples
Paste the disclosure from your lead form and the checker scores it against 15 elements in seconds: seller name, automated technology wording, the "not a condition of purchase" statement, SMS frequency, STOP and HELP, and more. You get a checklist, a suggested rewrite, and a certificate preview.
Check your disclosure up to 5 times per day. The score, checklist, suggested rewrite, and certificate preview need no signup.
Your full disclosure report
Every check, a suggested rewrite of your disclosure, and a certificate preview with a real SHA-256 hash of the text you submitted.
Disclosure checklist
- Pass
- Needs attention
- Not applicable to this channel
A text check does not inspect the rendered form or establish its font size, placement, link behavior, or visibility. Confirm those elements on the live page and preserve the session evidence.
Suggested rewrite
Review this wording against your actual sellers, contact methods, form design, and messaging program before publishing it. A rewrite helps address flagged elements and does not guarantee compliance.
Certificate preview
- Certificate ID
- SHA-256 hash
- Timestamp
- Channel
- Sellers
- IP address
- User agent
This certificate preview shows a real SHA-256 hash of your submitted disclosure and the details of this check session. It records your disclosure check, not a consumer's opt-in to a lead form.
The checker reviews language only. It does not establish legal compliance or replace a review of the complete consent experience. The score reflects disclosure checks, not a legal determination. A Defensible status does not establish that a person gives valid consent or that a particular call or text is lawful.

What the TCPA consent language checker looks for
Most rejected leads and most demand letters trace back to a handful of missing words. The checker reads your disclosure the way a lead buyer's compliance team or opposing counsel would, and marks each element as pass, needs attention, or not applicable to the channel you picked.
For covered telemarketing calls and texts that use an autodialer or an artificial or prerecorded voice, FCC rules require prior express written consent. That means a written agreement, signed (an electronic signature or checkbox can qualify), that clearly authorizes the named seller to contact the number provided using that technology, and that says consent is not a condition of purchase. SMS programs add carrier expectations on top: program name, message frequency, rates notice, STOP and HELP, and links to terms and privacy.
| Element | Why it matters | Channel |
|---|---|---|
| Seller identified by name | A buyer cannot rely on consent that never names them | Calls and texts |
| Automated technology and voice wording | Covers autodialed, AI voice, and prerecorded outreach | Calls and texts |
| Consent is not a condition of purchase | Required statement for prior express written consent | Calls and texts |
| Affirmative consent action | Checkbox or button the consumer actively chooses | Calls and texts |
| Phone number tied to consent | Links the agreement to the number you will contact | Calls and texts |
| Message frequency and rates notice | Carrier and 10DLC campaign review expectation | Texts |
| STOP and HELP instructions | Opt-out and help keywords consumers can use | Texts |
| Privacy policy and terms links | Reviewed during 10DLC campaign registration | Texts |
| Sellers receiving resold leads | Flags vague "marketing partners" wording | Resold leads |
| Readability and length | Long, buried disclosures invite challenges | All |
Sample TCPA consent language examples you can adapt
These samples show the structure that tends to pass a review. Replace every bracketed field, keep the wording next to the submit button, and run your final version through the checker above. They are starting points for your counsel, not legal advice.
Sample for calls and texts from one seller
By clicking Get My Quote, I agree that [Seller Name] may call and text me about [product] at the phone number I provided, including calls and texts made with an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. See our [Terms] and [Privacy Policy].
Sample for a comparison or lead generation site
By checking this box and clicking Submit, I agree to receive marketing calls and texts about [product] from [Seller A], [Seller B], and [Seller C] at the number I entered, including calls and texts made with automated technology and artificial or prerecorded voices. Consent is not required to buy anything. Rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel.
Sample TCPA text message consent language
I agree to receive recurring automated marketing text messages from [Program Name] at the mobile number provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Msg frequency varies. Msg and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel. [Terms] and [Privacy Policy].
Notice what each sample avoids: no pre-checked box, no "and our marketing partners" without a list, and no disclosure hidden below the button in gray 9 point type.
The gaps that get leads rejected
When lead buyers and carriers kick back a record, the reason is usually one of five missing pieces. The checker flags each of them so you can make these five fixes before the form goes live, instead of after a vendor audit.
Read more on SMS consent form elements and what reviewers expect during 10DLC compliance registration.
-
Name each seller instead of a vague "partners" or "affiliates" reference, so the buyer calling the lead is identified.
-
Add automated technology wording whenever the dialer, AI voice, or texting platform uses it.
-
Keep the "not a condition of purchase" sentence intact rather than replacing it with marketing copy.
-
Give SMS programs message frequency, a rates notice, and STOP and HELP keywords.
-
Place the disclosure right next to the submit button in readable type.
From pasted text to certified leads
Step one is free of signup. Paste the disclosure, pick calls, texts, or both, select your industry, and add the seller names shown on the form. The checker returns a score, a status of Defensible, Needs work, or High risk, the full checklist, and a rewrite you can copy.
Step two happens in your workspace. Add the JavaScript capture snippet to the form and every submission gets a consent certificate with the exact disclosure shown, the checkbox or button action, timestamps, page URL, IP address, and a SHA-256 hash. Buyers can then check each lead with the Lead Verification API before they dial. See the full proof of consent workflow.
- Check the wording, up to 5 checks per day without an account.
- Connect the form so each submission is certified against that wording.
- Verify the seller, phone match, and disclosure score before contact.
- Export the evidence package per phone number when counsel asks.
Built for teams that answer for consent
Compliance managers at insurance and Medicare lead generators use it before a form launches and again before each carrier audit. Lead buyers at solar, mortgage, and home services call centers use it to screen new vendors: paste the vendor's disclosure and you know in a minute whether their consent names you. SMS marketers use it before submitting a 10DLC campaign, and TCPA defense counsel use the report as a quick first pass before a full review.
Industry pages cover the details for insurance lead generators, solar installers, and lead buyers screening vendors.
Checker, template, or attorney review
| Option | What you get | Typical limitation | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copying a TCPA consent template | Generic wording | Not matched to your sellers, channels, or form layout | A first draft |
| Attorney review | Legal advice on the complete form | Slower and billed per review | Final sign off and disputes |
| ConsentVerified checker | Score, 15 point checklist, rewrite, certificate preview | Reviews text only, not the rendered page | Fast checks of every form and every vendor |
| ConsentVerified workspace | Certificates, verification, DNC scrubbing, evidence exports | Paid subscription | Ongoing lead programs |
The honest answer is that most teams use the checker and counsel together: the checker catches the obvious gaps on every form and vendor, and counsel signs off on the final language.
Frequently asked questions
What should TCPA consent language include?
TCPA consent language for marketing calls and texts should name the seller, say the consumer agrees to be contacted at the number provided, mention autodialed or artificial and prerecorded voice technology if you use it, and state that consent is not a condition of purchase. Text programs add frequency, rates, STOP and HELP, and links to terms and privacy.
Does TCPA consent need to be in writing?
Prior express written consent is required for telemarketing calls and texts made with an autodialer or an artificial or prerecorded voice. A web form with a checkbox or button and a clear disclosure can count as a written agreement with an electronic signature under the E-SIGN Act, as long as you can show what the consumer saw and did.
Is a checkbox required for TCPA consent?
No rule demands a checkbox specifically, but consent must come from a clear affirmative action. An unchecked box the consumer ticks, or a button whose label matches the disclosure directly beside it, are both common. Pre-checked boxes are widely treated as weak evidence and buyers often reject them.
Can I list "marketing partners" instead of each seller?
A generic partners reference makes it hard for a buyer to show the consumer agreed to hear from that specific company. Listing sellers by name is the safer practice. The FCC one to one consent rule was vacated in January 2025, but buyers still check whether their name appears in the disclosure.
How long is TCPA consent valid?
The TCPA sets no fixed expiration date for consent. It lasts until the consumer revokes it by any reasonable means. Many lead buyers set their own age limits, often 30 to 90 days, which is why the Lead Verification API reports consent age with every certificate.
Is the checker a legal opinion?
No. It reviews the disclosure text against common elements and gives you a score and suggested wording. It does not inspect the rendered page or replace review by counsel. ConsentVerified is a compliance tool, not a law firm.
