60301: Entity already exists


ERROR: 60301

error-60301 page anchor
VERIFY
ERROR

This error indicates that your request tried to create a Verify Entity with an Identity that already exists in the same Verify Service. Twilio returns HTTP 409 for this conflict because each Entity Identity must be unique within a Service.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • You sent a Create Entity request with an Identity that is already assigned to another Entity in the same Verify Service.
  • Your application retried the same request and attempted to create a duplicate Entity.
  • Your application does not check whether the Entity already exists before creating a new one.
  • You are reusing the same Identity value across multiple users or records in the same Service.
  • Use a unique Identity value for each Entity in the Verify Service.
  • Check whether the Entity already exists before you send a Create Entity request.
  • If you intended to work with an existing Entity, fetch or update that Entity instead of creating a new one.
  • Review your retry and idempotency logic to prevent duplicate create requests.
  • Confirm that your application maps each user to only one Entity per Verify Service.
