# Create a Carrier Sender ID Verification

Follow these steps to submit business and messaging details for destinations that use Carrier Sender IDs.

The destination carrier selects the Sender ID that recipients see according to its network requirements.

## Before you begin

- Review [Carrier Sender IDs](../sender-id-verification-types/carrier.html) to confirm that this Sender ID type matches your messaging use case.
- Create a business identity and address before you begin, or create them during **Step 2: Enter general details**. See [Manage identities and addresses](../../../identities/getting-started.html).
- Review [A2P SMS compliance requirements](../compliance-content-requirements.html) before preparing sample messages or consent information.

## Step 1: Open the verification form

1. In the DIDWW User Panel, go to **SMS > Sender ID Verifications**.
2. Open the **Get Started** tab.
3. Find the **Carrier** Sender ID type and click **Create New**.

Alternatively, on the **Verifications** tab, open **Create New** and select the **Carrier** Sender ID type.

## Step 2: Enter general details

1. Enter a **Friendly name**.
2. Select the **Target countries**.
3. Review the **Pricing** and **Identity Requirements** for the selected countries.
4. Select an existing business **Identity** and **Address**, or create them during this step.
5. Click **Next**.

Important

**Target countries** are organized into predefined groups. Selecting any
country in a group selects the entire group, and a verification can target
only one group. Countries in a selected group cannot be added or removed
individually, and groups cannot be combined in the same verification.
Pricing and Identity Requirements apply once to the whole group, not per
country.

Note

You do not select, enter, or reserve a Sender ID for this verification. The
destination carrier selects the Sender ID used to deliver each message.
After the verification is created, DIDWW generates a Sender ID in the
`DDWW0xxxxx` format for submitting traffic.

Carrier Sender ID Verification requires a business identity. Personal identities cannot be used.

For field descriptions, see [Carrier verification setup
fields](../sender-id-verification-reference.html#carrier-verification-reference).

## Step 4: Review the summary and submit

1. Review the **Verification Details** and **Identity Details**.
2. Review the estimated verification time and charges under **Summary**.
3. Click **Submit**.

After submission, the verification is added to the **Verifications** tab on the **Sender ID Verifications** page.
When you open this page, the **Get Started** tab is displayed by default.
Open the **Verifications** tab to find the submitted verification and use its
[status](../sender-id-verification-reference.html#sender-id-verification-statuses) to track the review.

The actual review time may vary depending on the selected countries and whether additional information is required.

If the status changes to **Changes Required**, see [Resubmit a Sender ID
Verification](resubmit-sender-id-verification.html).
