How to Verify Your Domain Email Address (ICANN Verification)
To prevent your domain from being temporarily suspended or locked, ICANN regulations require you to verify your registrant email address. Please follow these quick steps to complete the process.
Step 1: Check Your Inbox
Look for an email sent to your registrant email address.

Step 2: Verify Your Email (Option A - Fastest)
Inside the email, you will find a long verification link. Click on that link. It will look similar to this:
