Understanding WDPR ICANN submissions (information verification)

Update 08/06/2026

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: a public directory containing the contact information of a domain name holder (name, email, phone number).
  • WDPR: an ICANN system for reporting inaccurate or outdated WHOIS information.
  • Data accuracy: ICANN requires this information to be up to date. Incorrect data may result in the suspension or cancellation of the domain.
  • Privacy: you can hide your personal data using 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 quickly.
  • Update reminder: periodic email required to confirm that your information is still valid.
  • Confirmation: validation that your changes have been saved after an update.

Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for the security of your domain and to prevent any service interruptions.

 

Modify your data or the language of the messages

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