Registrant Contact
The legal holder of a domain registration, as recorded in RDAP/WHOIS.
The registrant is the legal owner of a domain: the person, organisation, or entity to whom the registrar has granted the right to use the name for the registration term. Registrant data lives in the domain's RDAP/WHOIS record and historically included full name, organisation, postal address, phone, and email. Since GDPR took effect in 2018, most gTLD registrar interfaces redact personal registrant data from public WHOIS by default, exposing only an anonymised contact form or registrar-hosted email. The registrant remains the only party that can authorise transfers, renewals, and (with the EPP auth code) deletion.
