Understanding ICANN WDPR Sends (Information Verification)

This guide explains the WDPR (WHOIS Data Problem Report System) and WHOIS notifications related to the management of your domain names.

 

WDPR and WHOIS: what are they?

  • WHOIS: public directory listing the contact details of the domain owner (name, email, phone).
  • WDPR: ICANN system for reporting inaccurate or outdated WHOIS information.
  • Data accuracy: ICANN requires that this information be up-to-date. Incorrect data can result in the suspension or cancellation of the domain.
  • Privacy: you can hide your personal data via a WHOIS privacy service.

 

Types of messages received

  • Problem notification: a third party has reported an error in your contact details; you must verify and correct them promptly.
  • Update reminder: mandatory periodic email to confirm that your information is still valid.
  • Confirmation: validation that your changes have been successfully recorded following an update.

Compliance with these guidelines is crucial for the security of your domain and to avoid any service interruption.

 

Modify your data or the language of the messages

You can modify your contact details or change the language of the notifications (French, English, etc.) directly on your management interface.
