# 21738: Brand Registration Failure: 2FA Email Undeliverable

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

This error means the Authentication+ verification email for your A2P 10DLC brand contact could not be delivered. Your brand contact must receive and complete this 2FA step before brand registration can continue.

### Possible causes

* The `brand_contact_email` value is invalid or contains a typo.
* The mailbox is inactive or cannot receive external email.
* The recipient's email server rejected the verification message.

### Possible solutions

* Confirm that the brand contact email is correct, active, and able to receive external messages.
* If the email address is incorrect, update `brand_contact_email` in the associated `us_a2p_messaging_profile_information` bundle for the brand.
* If this is a new brand registration, trigger Authentication+ again after updating the email address by creating a new Brand 2FA verification request.
* If the brand contact still did not receive the email, resend the verification email from Console under Messaging > Regulatory Compliance > Brands.
* If you are re-verifying an existing brand, update `brand_contact_email`, move the associated bundle to `pending-review`, and call the brand update endpoint.
