# Copy a model to a Region
<a name="copy-model-copy"></a>

After you [fulfill the prerequisites](copy-model-prereq.md), you can copy a model. You can copy a model that you own into a different Region, or a model that has been shared with you into a Region so that you can use it. Choose the tab for your preferred method, and then follow the steps:

------
#### [ Console ]

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console with an IAM identity that has permissions to use the Amazon Bedrock console. Then, open the Amazon Bedrock console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock](https://console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock).

1. From the left navigation pane, choose **Custom models** under **Tune**.

1. Depending on your use case, do one of the following:
   + To copy a model that you own into a different Region, select the button next to the model that you want to share in the **Models** section. Then, choose the three dots (![\[Vertical ellipsis icon representing a menu or more options.\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/images/icons/vertical-ellipsis.png)) and select **Copy**.
   + To copy a model that was shared with you into a Region, select the button next to the model that you want to share in the **Models shared with you** section. Then, choose **Copy**.

1. In the **Copy details** section, do the following:

   1. In the **Model name** field, give the model copy a name.

   1. Select a Region from the dropdown menu in the **Destination Region** field.

   1. (Optional) To add tags, expand the **Tags** section. For more information, see [Tagging Amazon Bedrock resources](tagging.md).

1. In the **Copy job name** section, give the job a **Name**.

1. (Optional) To encrypt the model copy, select an AWS KMS key that you have access to. For more information, see [Permissions and key policies for custom and copied models](encryption-custom-job.md#encryption-cm-statements).

1. Choose **Copy model**.

1. The model copy job appears in the **Jobs** tab. When the job is complete, the model's status becomes **Complete** and it appears in the **Models** section in the **Models** tab in the Region that you copied the model to.

#### [ API ]

To copy a model to another Region, send a [CreateModelCopyJob](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_CreateModelCopyJob.html) request with an [Amazon Bedrock control plane endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/bedrock.html#br-cp) in the Region in which you want to use the model.

The following fields are required:


****  

| Field | Brief description | 
| --- | --- | 
| sourceModelArn | The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the model to copy. | 
| targetModelName | A name for the model copy. | 

The following fields are optional:


****  

| Field | Use-case | 
| --- | --- | 
| clientToken | To ensure the API request completes only once. For more information, see [Ensuring idempotency](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/devguide/ec2-api-idempotency.html). | 
| modelKmsKeyId | To provide a KMS key to encrypt the model copy. For more information, see [Permissions and key policies for custom and copied models](encryption-custom-job.md#encryption-cm-statements) | 
| targetModelTags | To provide tags for the model copy. For more information, see [Tagging Amazon Bedrock resources](tagging.md). | 

The response includes a `jobArn` field, which is the ARN of the model copy job.
