After you add your domain, Cloudflare performs checks on a schedule to confirm you have updated your nameservers. The first check occurs after 60 seconds and the following attempts happen at gradually increased intervals. You can re-trigger the check [via API](/api/resources/zones/subresources/activation_check/methods/trigger/) or on the Dashboard, in the respective domain [Overview page](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/).

The activation check behavior depends on your zone setup:

| [Primary setup (full)](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/) with [multi-provider DNS](/dns/nameservers/nameserver-options/#multi-provider-dns) enabled, or [secondary setup](/dns/zone-setups/zone-transfers/cloudflare-as-secondary/) | At the registrar (or parent zone), the assigned Cloudflare nameservers must be present.
