Also known as [WHOIS](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/whois-rdds-2023-11-02-en), domain registration data identifies who owns a domain and how to get in contact with them.

In November 2023, ICANN launched the [Registration Data Request Service](https://rdrs.icann.org/) (RDRS), an online portal whereby users deemed to have a legitimate interest (including law enforcement, government agencies, intellectual property attorneys, cybersecurity professionals, and others) can request registration data from registrants. However, RDRS does not guarantee access to the registration data. All communication and data disclosure between the registrars and requestors takes place outside of the system.
