# Create AnonCreds Credential Definition

## Create Credential Definition

The request body must contain the `credential_definition` object with the Issuer DID and the Schema ID created in the previous steps.

To enable revocation, the `options` must contain the revocation flag, and the size of the revocation registry. Also, ensure that a [Tails Server](https://github.com/bcgov/indy-tails-server) is configured for the issuer.
