Admin Contact

The administrative point of contact for a registered domain, historically responsible for non-technical domain decisions.

The administrative contact (admin contact) is one of the legacy RDAP/WHOIS roles for a domain, originally intended for the person authorised to make administrative decisions like transfers and renewals. Since the 2018 GDPR-driven WHOIS redaction, most gTLD admin contacts are no longer publicly visible and many registrars now treat the role as equivalent to the registrant. The role still exists in RDAP responses and remains visible for many ccTLDs and corporate domains.
