# Register vaults

Whenever you deploy a new vault in Ripple Custody, you must register it by creating a corresponding vault entity. You can only register vaults in the root domain. You can then use the vault to execute transactions in any domain.

## Prerequisites

Before you register your vault, you need the vault's public key and ID.
You can find this in the vault logs, as described in [Register vaults in Ripple Custody](/products/custody/v1.15/get-started/deployment/register-vault).

## Register a vault

To register a new vault:

1. Navigate to **Administration > Vaults**.
2. Click **Create a vault**.
3. Enter the details of the vault, including a name and a vault ID in a valid UUID format.
4. Enter or upload the vault's public key.
5. Enter any required custom properties.
6. Click **Submit for Approval** and [sign the operation with the app](/products/custody/v1.15/ui/get-started/key-operations/intent-signature).


The new vault is created when the intent is successfully executed.
