Viewing the status of a domain registration

ICANN, the organization that maintains a central database of domain names, has developed a set of domain name status codes (also known as EPP status codes) that tell you the status of a variety of operations, for example, registering a domain name, transferring a domain name to another registrar, renewing the registration for a domain name, and so on. All registrars use this same set of status codes.

To view the status code for your domains, perform the following procedure.

To view the ICANN status code of a domain

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Route 53 console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/route53/.

  2. In the navigation pane, expand Domains and choose Registered Domains.

  3. Select the linked name of your domain.

  4. If you need to take an action, such as resending the verification email to the registrant contact, a banner on top of the page will indicate the action you need to take.

  5. For the current status of your domain, see the value of the Domain status code field.

    For a current list of domain name status codes and an explanation of what each code means, go to the ICANN website and search for epp status codes. (Search on the ICANN website; web searches sometimes return an old version of the document.)

You can also view the status of the registration on the Requests page.
