# Simulate token eligibility check

**POST** `/simulate/issuing/cards/tokens/check-eligibility`

Simulate a digital wallet checking whether a `visa_sandbox` card can be tokenized, the first step of token
provisioning. An eligible card returns a new card token in `pending_activation` status; an ineligible card returns an
error with the reason.

Continue provisioning by simulating approve provisioning on the returned card token.

### Body Parameters

- `card_id` `string` _(required)_ — The ID of the card to check eligibility for
