What Domain Names Are Eligible for Free Domain Privacy?

Quick Answer

Keep domain registration data accurate even when public WHOIS or RDAP output is redacted. Privacy availability depends on the TLD and policy, and it does not remove verification, ownership or legal disclosure requirements.

Before You Begin

Prepare accurate registrant, administrative and technical contact details.
Make sure the contact email can receive verification messages.
Check whether the TLD has privacy, local-presence or change-of-registrant restrictions.

Key Details

Our system adds a free Domain Privacy subscription with every registration, renewal, transfer, and reactivation for all eligible TLDs.

Unfortunately, due to the Registry restrictions, Domain Privacy cannot be used with certain domain extensions. View the Domain Privacy page for details.

Domain Privacy is added to the Shopping Cart with each eligible domain purchase/renewal/transfer/reactivation and enabled by default.

How to Verify

Review the saved contact data in your account, complete any verification email, and check RDAP/WHOIS where public data is available. Redacted public output does not mean the underlying data is missing.

Troubleshooting

The new contact email cannot receive the verification request.
Registrant data does not match required legal or registry information.
Privacy is unavailable for the TLD or the public result is redacted by policy.
A contact change triggers an additional verification or transfer restriction.
