Benefits of the Service

The RDRS is a free, global ticketing system that handles nonpublic gTLD registration data requests, standardizing the process for both registrars and requestors. This service simplifies the process for various users, including consumer protection advocates, cybersecurity investigators, government officials, intellectual property professionals, and law enforcement authorities, who have a legitimate interest in accessing nonpublic gTLD registration data.

Registrars benefit from the service because it offers a centralized mechanism to manage and track all nonpublic data requests. Registrars receive automated alerts whenever a request is submitted. A standardized request form ensures that the correct information and supporting documents are provided, simplifying the evaluation process for registrars.

Requesters can access the RDRS here. Registrars can use the service through the Naming Services portal.

More Information

Implemented at the direction of the ICANN Board, the RDRS was set up to collect demand and usage data that would inform policy decisions related to a System for Standardized Access/Disclosure For more information, including user guides, Frequently Asked Questions, instructional videos, and more, visit the RDRS webpage.
