# Change Carrier Application Agent Of Record

PUT https://api.vitablehealth.com/v1/carrier-applications/{carrier_application_id}/agent-of-record
Content-Type: application/json

Changes the agent of record on a carrier application without moving its assignee. The agent must be active and carry a complete provider identity. Partner callers may choose an agent at the application's current agency or Vitable's default agent; Vitable staff may choose any agent. `status` is `pending` while HealthSherpa confirms the change on an application it already holds, and `confirmed` otherwise. HealthSherpa applications accept a change only before submission; direct-to-carrier applications also accept one after submission, until the application is cancelled or coverage ends. The queue's `authorized_actions` advertises `agent_of_record` on exactly the rows this route would accept.

Reference: https://developer.vitablehealth.com/api/carrier-applications/change-carrier-application-agent-of-record

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — API Key or Access Token authentication using Bearer token in Authorization header. API keys use the vit_apk_ prefix, access tokens use the vit_at_ prefix.

## Servers

- `https://api.vitablehealth.com` (Production, default)
- `https://api.uat.vitablehealth.com` (UAT)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `carrier_application_id` (string, required)

### Headers

- `X-Vitable-Organization` (string, optional) — Organization to act as for this request (e.g. `org_SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ`). Optional when your credentials reach a single organization. Required when they reach several — omitting it then returns 400 `organization_required`. A malformed value returns 400 `invalid_organization_header`, and naming an organization you do not have access to returns 403 `organization_access_denied`.

### Body (application/json)
