Loopia does not issue a formal “proof of ownership” certificate for a domain name. This article explains why, what information is still publicly visible in whois (the public domain record), and how you can verify control of your domain when another party asks for it.
Why there is no formal proof of ownership
There is no “proof of owner” document or “certificate that I am the owner of the domain name” that Loopia can issue.
Holder information has been hidden in whois since GDPR came into force in May 2018 for many different top-level domains (TLDs). Some information can still be viewed via whois. For example, public information for .SE and .NU domain names is shown on the Swedish Internet Foundation’s website. You can read about what is shown in whois for the different domain extensions we offer in our article on what information appears in whois.
How to verify control of your domain
It is often enough to verify control of the domain name by adding a TXT or CNAME record (DNS zone entries used for verification) that the requesting party specifies. Alternatively, some organisations may accept copies of invoices. You will find all paid invoices at the bottom of your Customer Zone.
Publishing your details in whois for gTLD/ngTLD domains
For some gTLD and ngTLD domain names (such as .com, .net and similar generic top-level domains), it may be possible to publish your contact information in whois. If you are interested, please contact us at registry@loopia.se with your customer number (in the format FAXX-XX-XX-XXXX), the domain name, and a note that you wish to publish your contact information publicly in whois. We will then look into the possibilities for the TLD in question.
