A Porting Authority Form or PAF is required when submitting a port through the Atomic platform.

A PAF is a form that authorises the current subscriber of the phone number/s to port the numbers over to you and the Atomic platform. Should any dispute arise during the process of the port, or later down the line, you will need to have a signed PAF - it is your responsibility to obtain a signed PAF form from the customer directly.

To further facilitate the submission of number ports, the platform will auto generate a PAF upon a successful submission. You may also opt to upload a PAF form when porting a number across. Should you require a copy of the PAF form that was auto generated, you can navigate to Number Porting > Pending Request and search for the port request and click the Download link, which will start the downloading process for the requested port.

<aside> 💡 The Porting Authority Form that is generated by the platform is a consent between you, as our partner, and Atom for the submission of the number port. You should still obtain a signed PAF from your customer directly.
