The ID numbers used for DMR and other amateur radio digital networks are a finite resource. Due to the growing popularity of these modes, along with some users requiring multiple IDs, certain regions are expected to face ID shortages in the near future.
To help ensure that available IDs are being used efficiently, the organization in charge of maintaining the ID database will periodically verify that currently assigned IDs are still needed and that the information associated with them remains accurate.
Beginning July 1, 2026, RadioID.net will implement an annual verification process. On the anniversary of each account’s creation, it will send an email to the account holder requesting confirmation that the assigned ID(s) are still needed and that the the account information remains accurate and up to date.
If no confirmation is received, the associated ID(s) will be temporarily deactivated. If RadioID.net is unable to obtain a response after a reasonable period, the ID(s) will be removed from the database and made available for reassignment.
This process is intended to preserve the long-term availability of ID numbers and maintain an accurate database for the amateur radio community.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please contact RadioID through their support page.
