# Verification Check

Use the VerificationCheck resource to validate that the user-provided token is correct.

**Prerequisites**:

1. [Create a Verification Service](/docs/verify/api/service)
2. [Start a Verification](/docs/verify/api/verification)

## VerificationCheck Response Properties

These fields are returned in the output JSON response. The type `SID<VE>` is a unique ID starting with the letters VE.

```json

```

## Check a Verification

`POST https://verify.twilio.com/v2/Services/{ServiceSid}/VerificationCheck`

> \[!WARNING]
>
> Twilio deletes the verification SID once it's:
>
> * expired (after 10 minutes)
> * approved
> * max check attempts reached
>
> If any of these events occur, the VerificationCheck request returns a `404 Not Found` error similar to the following example:
>
> ```bash
> Unable to create record: The requested resource /Services/VAXXXXXXXXXXXXX/VerificationCheck was not found
> ```
>
> To review what happened to a specific verification, use the [Verify Logs in the Twilio Console](https://console.twilio.com/us1/monitor/logs/verify-logs).

You can pass the following input parameters. A `SID<VE>` value is a unique ID that starts with VE.

An SNA VerificationCheck can display a `status` value of `approved` while still listing error codes in `sna_attempts_error_codes`. This situation occurs when an earlier SNA verification attempt fails and produces an error code, but a later attempt succeeds and approves the verification.
