+description: API Reference for the permanentRedirect function.
+---
+
+The `permanentRedirect` function allows you to redirect the user to another URL. `permanentRedirect` can be used in Server Components, Client Components, [Route Handlers](/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-handlers), and [Server Actions](/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations).
+
+When used in a streaming context, this will insert a meta tag to emit the redirect on the client side. Otherwise, it will serve a 308 (Permanent) HTTP redirect response to the caller.
+
+If a resource doesn't exist, you can use the [`notFound` function](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/not-found) instead.
+
+> **Good to know**: If you prefer to return a 307 (Temporary) HTTP redirect instead of 308 (Permanent), you can use the [`redirect` function](/docs/app/api-reference/functions/redirect) instead.
+
+## Parameters
+
+The `permanentRedirect` function accepts two arguments:
+
+```js
+permanentRedirect(path, type)
+```
+
+| Parameter | Type                                                          | Description                                                 |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `path`    | `string`                                                      | The URL to redirect to. Can be a relative or absolute path. |
+| `type`    | `'replace'` (default) or `'push'` (default in Server Actions) | The type of redirect to perform.                            |
+
+By default, `permanentRedirect` will use `push` (adding a new entry to the browser history stack) in [Server Actions](/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations) and `replace` (replacing the current URL in the browser history stack) everywhere else. You can override this behavior by specifying the `type` parameter.
+
+The `type` parameter has no effect when used in Server Components.
+
+## Returns
+
+`permanentRedirect` does not return any value.
+
+## Example
+
+Invoking the `permanentRedirect()` function throws a `NEXT_REDIRECT` error and terminates rendering of the route segment in which it was thrown.
+
+```jsx filename="app/team/[id]/page.js"
+import { permanentRedirect } from 'next/navigation'
+
+async function fetchTeam(id) {
+  const res = await fetch('https://...')
+  if (!res.ok) return undefined
+  return res.json()
+}
+
+export default async function Profile({ params }) {
+  const team = await fetchTeam(params.id)
+  if (!team) {
+    permanentRedirect('/login')
+  }
+
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+> **Good to know**: `permanentRedirect` does not require you to use `return permanentRedirect()` as it uses the TypeScript [`never`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/functions.html#never) type.
