As per the WHOIS ACCURACY PROGRAM SPECIFICATION introduced by Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and effective from January 1, 2014, every registrar is required to verify the registrant contact for each domain, within 15 days of:
- Registration of a domain.
- Transfer of a domain which results in the registrant contact being replaced.
- Modification of a domain's registrant contact.
Accordingly, an email would be sent from the system to the registrant contact's email address for verification, upon one of the above actions being performed. If the registrant contact does not complete the verification process within 15 days, the domain will be deactivated. The domain would be reactivated, once the verification has been completed.
