# Confirm an email-ownership verification code

`POST /dir/{dir_id}/verify_email/confirm`

Submit the 6-digit code that was emailed to the DIR's authorizer email. On success the authorizer email is marked verified.

For security, any failure (wrong, expired, already-used, or too many attempts) returns the same generic message.

## Path parameters

## Request body

## Response `200`

- EmailVerificationStatusWrapped
  - `data` EmailVerificationStatus, required — Verification state for a DIR's authorizer email.
    - `record_type` 'email_verification', required — Always `email_verification`.
    - `email_verified` boolean, required — Whether the DIR's authorizer email has been confirmed.
    - `status` 'sent' | 'verified' | 'unverified', required — `sent` after a code is emailed; `verified` after a successful confirm; `unverified` when no verification is in progress.
    - `expires_at` string, date-time, nullable — When the outstanding code stops being accepted. Null when no verification is in progress.
    - `sends_remaining_today` integer, nullable — How many more codes may be requested for this DIR today. Null when the daily cap does not apply.
