Registrant Verification
The process of confirming a domain registrant's contact information is accurate — required by ICANN.
Registrant verification (WHOIS verification) is the process by which registrars confirm that the contact information provided for a domain registration is accurate. ICANN requires registrars to verify registrant email addresses at registration and when contact details change. Domains with unverified contact information may be suspended by the registrar. Verification typically involves clicking a confirmation link sent to the registrant's email.
