Hi Preeti – you will need to deactivate customer in order to be able to reuse the email address for another Customer!

Another tip for reusing your own email for multiple customer accounts is by adding an alias to the email, like so:

[shreya@email.com](mailto:shreya@email.com)  
[shreya+customerA@email.com](mailto:shreya+customerA@email.com)  
[shreya+customerB@email.com](mailto:shreya+customerB@email.com)  
…

Hi  
Thanks for reply. I have one more query. In which situation will get status retry or document or kba or how to test in my sandbox mode. Please send example request body so I can use that request body to create retry status

Hi @Preeti_gupta – here’s our guide on simulating the different verification statuses for Customers - [Getting started in the sandbox | Dwolla API Documentation](https://developers.dwolla.com/guides/sandbox#simulate-identity-verification-statuses)

For example, here’s the request body to create a Personal Verified Customer in retry status -

```auto
POST https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/customers

{
  "firstName": "retry",
  "lastName": "Doe",
  "email": "johndoe@email.net",
  "ipAddress": "10.10.10.10",
  "type": "personal",
  "address1": "99-99 33rd St",
  "city": "Some City",
  "state": "NY",
  "postalCode": "11101",
  "dateOfBirth": "1970-01-01",
  "ssn": "1234"
}

```
