Registrant Verification / Whois Accuracy Program (WAP)
ICANN requires new registered domains or domains where the owner or e-mail address data has been changed to be verified. This is to secure the accuracy of the provided contact details.
As an ICANN-accredited registrar, we are under obligation to verify registrant information of all domain holders who own gTLDs and nTLDs. All newly registered, transferred and modified domains are subject to ICANN registrant verification.
An E-Mail will be sent and the included link has to be confirmed.
If the E-Mail is not visible in your postbox it can be sent again via your Domain-Provider.
The Verification Process has to be completed within 15 days otherwise the domain will stop resolving.
Further information on the respective ICANN guidelines can be found at:
