# Change Sync region

To change your remote vault's region, you will need to recreate your vault on a different Sync server. Note you can also change regions by using the Upgrade Sync encryption migration assistant, if your remote vault is on an older version.

If you are on the Standard Plan, you will also need to delete your remote vault before proceeding.

Additionally, you can delete your old remote vault once you have confirmed transition to your new remote vault and its region.
