# Primary compliance profiles

> \[!NOTE]
>
> **Customer profiles** have been rebranded to **Compliance profiles**. This doesn't change the Trust Hub API. All API endpoints, parameter names, and resource identifiers (like `CustomerProfileSid`) remain the same. This documentation covers the features in the *Twilio Console*.

A primary compliance profile contains your core identity and business data. To create registrations in your account, you need an approved primary profile.

## Create a primary compliance profile

Primary compliance profiles belong in two categories: either a *business* or *individual profile*.
*Business profiles* cover businesses with verified business documentation.
*Individual profiles* cover sole proprietors or individual users exploring Twilio products.

## Business

To create a business primary compliance profile:

1. Go to **Communications** > **Trust Hub** > **[Profiles][]**. The **Primary profile** should be selected.
2. Click **Business Profile**. The **Profile details: Individual details** page appears.
3. Complete the **Individual details** section. Twilio uses this information to verify your identity and maintain a secure, trusted platform.
   * Type your given name into the **First name** box as it shows up on your government issued ID.
   * Type your surname into the **Last name** box as it shows up on your government issued ID.
   * Type your email address into the **Email address** box.
   * Type your telephone number into the **Phone number** box.
   * Type your job title into the **Business title** box.
   * Choose a value from the **Job position** dropdown menu.

* If you failed to provide complete data or data in the proper format, your profile moves to **Twilio Rejected**.
  You can edit and resubmit your profile.

Twilio reviews your profile. If Twilio can verify your data, your profile status changes to **Twilio Approved**. You can use your primary compliance profile. Twilio approval indicates that the data provided met Twilio's requirements. It doesn't indicate that your profile complies with applicable laws or regulatory requirements.
