# Jurisdictions

On this page, you can create, view, and manage jurisdictions to which clients can be automatically assigned after registration. Jurisdictions help segment clients by region or regulatory needs, ensuring efficient operations and compliance.

Jurisdiction-based restrictions can be used to control access to specific products, deposit and withdrawal methods, or verification levels, making them available to clients from certain jurisdictions while restricting access for others.

Jurisdictions are assigned to clients based on a combination of the client’s **country** and **client type**.

### Key points

* If a client registers with a country and client type that match an existing jurisdiction, the jurisdiction is assigned to the client automatically.
* If no matching country and client type combination is found during registration, the jurisdiction isn’t assigned to the client.
* If a client isn’t required to select their country during registration, the jurisdiction is assigned automatically after the country is set through the KYC process, taking the client type into account.
* When the client’s country changes, the jurisdiction is automatically updated if a matching one exists, taking the client type into account.
* Jurisdictions can also be manually assigned or changed in the client details without changing the country.
