.secure Domain WHOIS & RDAP Lookup

.secure is a generic top-level domain (gTLD). Look up any .secure domain on W.is to see its registrar, registration and expiration dates, status codes and name servers over RDAP.

Example lookup: nic.secure (reserved for the registry operator)

How to look up a .secure domain

The quickest way is to type the domain into the search box above: W.is queries the .secure registry and shows the result in a readable format. You can also query the registry yourself from a terminal.

RDAP lookup

The .secure RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.nominet.uk/secure/domain/. RDAP returns structured JSON over HTTPS (RFC 9082 and RFC 9083); append the domain name to the endpoint:

curl -H 'Accept: application/rdap+json' https://rdap.nominet.uk/secure/domain/example.secure

Which protocol does W.is use?

IANA lists no port-43 WHOIS server for .secure, so W.is looks up .secure domains over RDAP. If the RDAP server returns an error or leaves out data, W.is may still try a legacy WHOIS server. Since January 28, 2025, ICANN no longer requires gTLD registries to run a WHOIS service, and RDAP is the authoritative source of gTLD registration data.

Frequently asked questions

What is the WHOIS server for .secure?

IANA lists no WHOIS server for .secure. Registration data for .secure domains is available over RDAP instead, at https://rdap.nominet.uk/secure/domain/.

Does .secure support RDAP?

Yes. The .secure RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.nominet.uk/secure/domain/. Append a domain name to it to get the registration data as JSON. W.is uses this endpoint first for every .secure lookup.

How do I check who owns a .secure domain?

Enter the domain in the search box on this page. W.is shows the registrar, registration and expiration dates, status codes and name servers reported by the .secure registry. Owner (registrant) details are often redacted for privacy; in that case the registrar is usually the way to reach the owner. Our guide on how to find a domain owner covers the other options.

When does a .secure domain expire?

Each .secure domain has its own expiration date, set by how long it was registered or renewed for. Look the domain up on W.is to see the expiration date reported by the registry. As with other ICANN-contracted TLDs, a .secure registration term can be at most 10 years. Our domain expiration guide explains what happens after a domain expires.
