# Close account by ID

Initiates the closure of the account specified by its ID.
Closure is a two-step process: the account status changes to `CLOSING`, and once all preconditions are met the account transitions to `CLOSED`. While in `CLOSING`, only sell orders and transfers of positions out of the account are permitted. Subscribe to the `ACCOUNT.CLOSING_INITIATED` and `ACCOUNT.CLOSED` webhook events to track progress.
See the Closing accounts guide ([TOL](https://docs.upvest.co/products/tol/guides/accounts/accounts_close_accounts) / [BYOL](https://docs.upvest.co/products/byol/guides/accounts/accounts_close_accounts)) for preconditions and implementation details.
