# Submit a DIR for vetting

`POST /dir/{dir_id}/submit`

Submit a DIR for vetting. Sends the DIR back through the vetting cycle from any non-terminal status. When re-submitting from `suspended` or `expired`, the DIR's previous Branded Calling registration is torn down transactionally and its phone numbers flip back to `submitted`. When re-submitting from `verified`, the existing registration stays live throughout the new vetting cycle.

Returns `400` from `submitted`/`in_review`/`permanently_rejected`. Returns `400` if the DIR's business and financial references have not been submitted. Returns `409` if the DIR has an unresolved infringement claim.
