# How do I verify my company location with sipgate?

Before you can make calls with sipgate, your locations must be verified. This allows us to comply with the legal requirements of the Federal Network Agency and ensures that phone numbers are not misused. Verification is required once and must be carried out by admins of the account.

#### **Create location and start verification**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open locations**

As an admin, open the **account management** and go to **Locations**.

![](/files/0d16c6f5c48d84cae19dc74801d3281a800f36df)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Create location**

Create a new location.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Start verification**

After creating it, you will be automatically prompted to verify the location.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### **Proof for German locations**

To verify a location in Germany, upload proof showing the company's address. Accepted documents include, for example:

* Excerpt from the commercial register
* Business registration
* Extract from the land register
* Lease agreement with the location address

You submit the documents via file upload. Review usually takes a few days.

#### **Verification of international locations**

For locations outside Germany, please follow the instructions when booking international phone numbers and upload the requested documents.

#### **Using locations that are not yet verified**

You can set up a location even if verification has not yet been completed. The following functions are already available to you:

* Book phone numbers and assign them to users or groups
* Start porting existing phone numbers

{% hint style="info" %}
However, telephony will only be enabled after successful verification.
{% endhint %}

#### **Verify additional locations**

If you want to add additional locations, also go to the **Account administration → Locations**.

1. Select the three-dot icon next to the location.
2. Upload the required documents or start verification.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/getting-started/alles-fur-den-start-mit-sipgate/wie-verifiziere-ich-meinen-unternehmensstandort-bei-sipgate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
