Impact of the 2013 RAA: WHOIS info verification
Verifying the Registrant’s contact information
As a part of the Whois Data Accuracy specification, ICANN expects the Registrar to verify the contact information for the Registrant contact of each gTLD domain name, within 15 days of
* a domain name being registered with unverified contact details,
* a domain name being transferred in, or
* the contact information of the Registrant contact information being modified.
If the domain holder does not verify the contact information within 15 days, the Registrar must suspend the domain name until the verification is completed. This requirement comes into effect from January 1st, 2014 - domain names that are already registered are not subject to such verification unless their contact information is modified.
How to verify:
The Registrant contact of a domain name will receive an email notification to verify the email address. This mail will contain a link that the Registrant must click on, to complete the verification, within 15 days.
