# Reserved handles
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/more/reserved-slugs

Known artists' and organisations' handles are held back, and their real owner claims one by verifying an email on its list.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Some handles are held for the artists, labels and agencies they belong to, so
nobody else can take `aden.space/@martingarrix` first. When the handle is
yours, you prove it with your email and it's yours to use.

## Using it [#using-it]

1. Type the handle when you create a team, or your organisation's name when
   you request an organisation (or change either in settings). A reserved one
   shows **Verify it's yours**.
2. Enter your email at the domain it names, like `you@martingarrix.com`.
3. Type the 6-digit code we email you. The handle is now yours: finish
   creating the team, or save the settings.

If your Aden account already uses that email, there is nothing to verify: the
handle is simply available to you. If you can't receive mail at that domain,
email [reservedslug@aden.space](mailto:reservedslug@aden.space).
