# Cancel a Sender ID Verification

Cancel and close a Sender ID Verification when you no longer want to use it to send messages.

## Before you begin

The verification must have the [Active](../sender-id-verification-reference.html#sender-id-verification-statuses)
status.

Warning

After the verification becomes **Closed**, it can no longer be used to send
messages. Confirm that you no longer need the verification before
continuing.

## Step 1: Open the closure dialog

1. In the DIDWW User Panel, go to **SMS > Sender ID Verifications**.
2. Open the **Verifications** tab.
3. Find the verification and click the actions button.
4. Select **Cancel campaign**.

After confirmation, the verification moves to
[Pending Closure](../sender-id-verification-reference.html#sender-id-verification-statuses). When the closure is
complete, its status changes to
[Closed](../sender-id-verification-reference.html#sender-id-verification-statuses), and the verification can no
longer be used to send messages.
