In NG9-1-1, a governmental Agency is recognized through validating an enabling statute, ordinance, municipal incorporation, joint powers agreement or similar. A private entity is recognized through validating articles of incorporation, business registration or similar. A validated Agency will have a unique Agency Identifier and will be issued an Agency Certificate. The Agency Certificate can validate Agents that are members of that Agency. |
