ICANN Verification – Is this real or fake?

ICANN’s most recent changes require us to verify registrant contact information.

By being a registrant of a domain name or by changing the registrant name or the email address for existing domains, the registrant needs to verify their contact information.

For new registrations, the registrant must verify their email address. For changes to existing domain names, they must verify the name or email modification.

Note that this verification need to be done within 15 days of the email address or modified contact information.

I can confirm that the emails titled “IMMEDIATE VERIFICATION required for YourDomain.com” are real and require attention. The sending address is, no-reply@registrant-verification.net. You may also see the 1API or ISAPI in the email body.
