Card is cancelled or card has been cancelled

My boss sends me an email to cancel the smart card access in the system who checked out already and he asks me to confirm once done.

After I done, I wonder how to reply with - "This is to confirm the requested card is cancelled" or " This is to confirm the requested card has been cancelled".

Given the context, I would prefer "has been cancelled", but the first one is fine as well. Also, I suggest you insert "that" after "confirm": This is to confirm that the requested card has been cancelled.
