How the .au WHOIS lookup works

Live .au results from auDA's authoritative RDAP server.

1Step 1

Enter a .au or .com.au domain

Type the .au or .com.au domain into the search box. auDA requires all .au registrants to have an Australian nexus.

2Step 2

FetchWhois queries auDA's RDAP server

auDA (Australian Domain Administration Limited) operates the .au registry. We query their RDAP server live via IANA.

3Step 3

Read the .au registration record

Registrar, dates, status, nameservers and DNSSEC data are returned.

.au domains: Australia's ccTLD namespace

.au is the ccTLD for Australia, operated by auDA (Australian Domain Administration Limited). The most common second-level domains are .com.au (commercial), .net.au (networks), .org.au (organisations), .edu.au (education) and .gov.au (government). In 2022 auDA introduced direct .au registrations, allowing shorter domain names. All .au registrants must meet Australian Nexus Requirements — they must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or entity with an Australian Business Number (ABN) or Australian Company Number (ACN).

WHOIS lookups for .au domains use auDA's RDAP server. Australian privacy law limits public WHOIS exposure of personal data, so individual registrant details are typically masked. Registrar name, dates, nameservers and DNSSEC are shown. auDA has over 3 million active registrations across all second-level domains. DNSSEC is supported.
