How the .uk WHOIS lookup works

Live results from Nominet's authoritative RDAP server.

1Step 1

Enter a .uk or .co.uk domain

Type the domain into the search box. For co.uk domains, enter the full second-level domain — for example, example.co.uk.

2Step 2

FetchWhois queries Nominet's RDAP server

Nominet is the official .uk registry operator. We resolve the RDAP endpoint via IANA and query it live for the registration record.

3Step 3

Read the .uk registration record

Registrar, creation and expiry dates, nameservers and DNSSEC data are displayed. Nominet applies its own privacy rules for UK registrant data.

.uk domains: the United Kingdom's national TLD

.uk is the country-code TLD for the United Kingdom, operated by Nominet, a non-profit established in 1996. The most common second-level domains under .uk are .co.uk (commercial), .org.uk (organizations), .me.uk (personal), .ltd.uk (limited companies) and .plc.uk (public limited companies). Nominet introduced the direct .uk registration (without a second-level label) in 2014. The UK domain space is one of the largest ccTLD namespaces in the world, with over 10 million active .co.uk and .uk registrations.

Nominet operates its own RDAP service for the .uk namespace. Privacy rules differ from gTLDs: UK WHOIS data has historically been somewhat less redacted than gTLD WHOIS for UK-resident registrants, though GDPR and Nominet's own privacy policies have increased redaction in recent years. Unlike gTLDs, Nominet has traditionally had stricter registrant eligibility requirements — .co.uk was originally limited to UK commercial entities, though enforcement has relaxed. Nameserver and DNSSEC data are always shown.
