# Create Forwarding Address

Creates a forwarding address. If ownership verification is required, a message will be sent to the recipient and the resource's verification status will be set to `pending`; otherwise, the resource will be created with verification status set to `accepted`. This method is only available to service account clients that have been delegated domain-wide authority.
