One-Party Consent (Federal)
Under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (18 U.S.C. § 2511), a party to a conversation may legally record it without notifying others. This applies in 38 states and Washington D.C.
⚠️ 12 states require all-party consent
In these states, all parties must be informed that the call is being recorded before the conversation begins. A verbal statement at the start of the call is typically sufficient. If the other party continues after being notified, their consent may be considered implied.
