+Durable Objects can be restricted to a specific jurisdiction by creating a [`DurableObjectNamespace`](/durable-objects/api/namespace/) restricted to a jurisdiction. All [Durable Object ID methods](/durable-objects/api/id/) are valid on IDs within a namespace restricted to a jurisdiction.
 
 ```js
 const euSubnamespace = env.MY_DURABLE_OBJECT.jurisdiction("eu");
 const euId = euSubnamespace.newUniqueId();
-// or
-const euId = env.MY_DURABLE_OBJECT.newUniqueId({ jurisdiction: "eu" });
 ```
 
-Methods on a [`DurableObjectNamespace`](/durable-objects/api/namespace/) that take a [`DurableObjectId`](/durable-objects/api/id) as a parameter will throw an exception if the parameter is associated with a different jurisdiction. To achieve this, a [`DurableObjectId`](/durable-objects/api/id) encodes its jurisdiction. As a consequence, it is possible to have the same name represent different IDs in different jurisdictions.

-Methods on a [`DurableObjectNamespace`](/durable-objects/api/namespace/) that take a [`DurableObjectId`](/durable-objects/api/id) as a parameter will throw an exception if the parameter is associated with a different jurisdiction. However, these methods will not throw an exception if the [`DurableObjectNamespace`](/durable-objects/api/namespace/) is not associated with a jurisdiction. The common case is that any valid [`DurableObjectId`](/durable-objects/api/id) can be used in the top-level namespace's methods.

+:::caution[Use `DurableObjectNamespace.jurisdiction`]
+
+When specifying a jurisdiction, Cloudflare recommends you first create a namespace restricted to a jurisdiction, using `const euSubnamespace = env.MY_DURABLE_OBJECT.jurisdiction("eu")`.
+
+Note that it is also possible to specify a jurisdiction by creating an individual [`DurableObjectId`](/durable-objects/api/id) restricted to a jurisdiction, using `const euId = env.MY_DURABLE_OBJECT.newUniqueId({ jurisdiction: "eu" })`.
+
+**However, Cloudflare does not recommend this approach.**
