General

Registrants are required to give us "correct" contact information under the conditions of registration, so if the registrant name is false, we may be able to do something about it.

If you contact us with your concerns, we can look at the registration. We will try to establish what the correct contact information is. If we cannot, we may cancel the registration, and that may solve your problem as the domain name would then be available for re-registration.

If we are able to establish genuine contact information, that may also assist you to identify who the registrant is and whether you object to the registration.

Obviously fake information

Some registrations have obviously fake information, and give no genuine contact information at all. In these cases, we can sometimes proceed to cancellation faster than normal.

Out of date information

If the listed registrant has died, or been struck off the register of Companies, the domain name may be liable to be cancelled. Please see our page on this topic, which also sets out our process for dealing with transfers from dissolved companies in some limited situations.
