# CAA Record Setup

<Note>
  We only recommend adding CAA records if you have the technical knowledge to do so.
</Note>

If you're using CAA records for your domain, then you need to add the following records to your domain's DNS settings:

| Type  | Name | Value                           | Notes                                                           |
| ----- | ---- | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CAA` | `@`  | `0 issue "pki.goog"`            |                                                                 |
| `CAA` | `@`  | `0 issuewild "pki.goog"`        | Only add this if you're already using other `issuewild` records |
| `CAA` | `@`  | `0 issue "letsencrypt.org"`     |                                                                 |
| `CAA` | `@`  | `0 issuewild "letsencrypt.org"` | Only add this if you're already using other `issuewild` records |

We use a mix of Google Trust Services (pki.goog) and Let's Encrypt (letsencrypt.org) for our SSL certificates, so it's important to add both CAs to the allowlist.
