<Note>
  Calling this endpoint starts an **asynchronous verification process**. Resend
  checks the claim's TXT record and runs ownership-safety checks before
  transferring the domain to your team. Add the TXT record returned by [Claim
  Domain](/api-reference/domains/claim-domain) before calling this, then poll
  [Get Domain Claim](/api-reference/domains/get-domain-claim) to follow the
  `status`.
</Note>

<Note>
  **After the claim completes:** the domain is transferred to your account as a
  brand-new domain with its own DKIM keys, so the previous account's DNS records
  can't be reused. Fetch it with [Get
  Domain](/api-reference/domains/get-domain), update your DNS with the new DKIM
  record(s), then run [Verify Domain](/api-reference/domains/verify-domain) to
  finish setup before sending or receiving email. See [DKIM
  records](/dashboard/domains/introduction#what-are-dkim-records) for details.
</Note>

## Path Parameters

<ResendParamField path="domain_id" type="string" required>
  The placeholder Domain ID returned when the claim was created.
