# Freeze an account

> Freeze an account's ability to transfer a specific Hedera token using TokenFreezeTransaction, signed by the token's freeze key on the Hedera Token Service.

Freezes transfers of the specified token for the account. The transaction must be signed by the token's Freeze Key.

* If the provided account is not found, the transaction will resolve to INVALID\_ACCOUNT\_ID. If the provided account has been deleted, the transaction will resolve to ACCOUNT\_DELETED.
* If the provided token is not found, the transaction will resolve to INVALID\_TOKEN\_ID.
* If the provided token has been deleted, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN\_WAS\_DELETED.
* If an Association between the provided token and account is not found, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN\_NOT\_ASSOCIATED\_TO\_ACCOUNT.
* If no Freeze Key is defined, the transaction will resolve to TOKEN\_HAS\_NO\_FREEZE\_KEY.
* Once executed the Account is marked as Frozen and will not be able to receive or send tokens unless unfrozen.
* The operation is idempotent

**Transaction Signing Requirements**

* Freeze key
* Transaction fee payer account key

**Transaction Fees**

* Please see the transaction and query [fees](/learn/networks/mainnet/fees#transaction-and-query-fees) table for the base transaction fee
* Please use the [Hedera fee estimator](https://hedera.com/fees) to estimate your transaction fee cost
