# ICANN Lookup

A free ICANN web tool for checking the public registration data of a domain name. It sends an RDAP query to the registry or registrar and shows the answer. ICANN does not keep the data itself. It replaced ICANN's older web WHOIS page and is a usual first step before a disclosure request.
