# Apply label to document

> Apply an existing label to a document. Labels must be created first via the [Create label](/api/labels/create-label) endpoint.

Documents can have multiple labels. When a new label is applied using this endpoint, the API adds it to the document's existing labels. Labels are not replaced.

            The label name to apply:


            - Must be 2-25 characters

            - Labels are **case insensitive**. For example, adding `BlobSales`
            when `blobsales` exists will be treated as a duplicate. 

            - Special characters must be URL-encoded (e.g., `Q1%202024` for "Q1
            2024").


            Additionally, adding **Verified** or **Homepage** labels require
            Organization Admin permissions.
