# law enforcement request

A demand from police, prosecutors or similar public bodies for registration data or for action on a domain. gTLD registrars must keep a contact point for authorities in their own jurisdiction that is watched around the clock, and must review well founded reports from them within 24 hours. Requests from foreign authorities are less clear cut.
