## Queues now supports EU, US, and FedRAMP jurisdictions

[Queues](https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/)

You can now create [Cloudflare Queues](https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/) with jurisdictional restrictions, ensuring that messages published to a queue are stored and processed only within a specific jurisdiction. This helps you comply with data residency requirements such as the [GDPR ↗︎](https://gdpr-info.eu/) or [FedRAMP ↗︎](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-achieves-fedramp-authorization/).

To create a jurisdiction-restricted queue with the [Cloudflare CLI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cf/) (`cf`), use the `--jurisdiction` flag:

```bash
cf queues create --queue-name my-eu-queue --jurisdiction eu
```

You can also pass a `jurisdiction` parameter when calling the [Create Queue](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/queues/methods/create/) endpoint:

```bash
curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/queues \
  --request POST \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "queue_name": "my-eu-queue",
    "jurisdiction": "eu"
  }'
```

Supported jurisdictions are `eu` (European Union), `us` (United States), and `fedramp` (FedRAMP-Moderate data centers). Jurisdiction can only be set when a queue is created and cannot be changed afterwards.

For more information, refer to [Queues data location](https://developers.cloudflare.com/queues/configuration/data-location/).
