If you try to add a domain and see “Domain linked to another account”, it means the domain is already associated with a different Vercel team or project. You can resolve this by claiming the domain using Vercel’s built-in claim flow.
- Log in to your Vercel account, click the “Domains” tab or by clicking here.
- Click the Add existing button.
- Select Claim.
- Enter your domain name.
- Copy the TXT record Vercel provides.
Claim Domain Ownership modal - Add the TXT record at your DNS provider, then return to Vercel and click Verify & claim.
- If the platform is able to verify the DNS record, the domain will shortly be available under the “Domains” tab.
- You can only claim a domain you own and control the root/apex DNS records for. If you don't own the domain or the apex DNS, please speak to the owner and ask them to make these changes for you.
- Project domain verification and team domain verification are separate. If a domain is already in use by another project and serving traffic, you’ll still be asked to add a verification record when adding it at the project level. However, once a domain is claimed and owned at the account level, you won’t need to verify it again when adding new records to your projects. Verification is only required if the domain or subdomain is already owned by another project.
- If the domain was purchased through Vercel and its nameservers point to Vercel, you cannot access DNS settings and cannot use the claim flow (because the TXT record cannot be added). In that case, we recommend using our Account Recovery flow.
