About Code Administration

Code Administration covers the ordering of a variety of codes. However, most of a code administrator's time is spent dealing with Central Office codes, since the ordering and maintenance process for Central Office Codes (also known as NPA-NXX codes) is rather complex. Most types of codes require only one form and are issued within 7-10 days of the application date. NPA-NXX codes have a . Code forecasts must be in place before an NPA-NXX can be ordered and the process is completed in several steps. Unless a code is expedited, it always take 66 days from the time of application for it to become effective. Once the code application process is completed, utilization reports must be submitted twice a year to NEUSTAR.
