Registrar Data Escrow Program
Registrars are required by Section 3.6 of their 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA 2013) and Section 8 of the Registration Data Policy to escrow certain data elements. Pursuant to the Registrar Data Escrow (RDE) program as defined by the Registrar Data Escrow Specification (RDE Specification), registrars may use an ICANN-Designated Registrar Data Escrow Agent (DEA) at no charge or use an ICANN-Approved Registrar DEA at the registrar's expense for depositing their escrow records. All registrars and registrar DEAs must comply with the terms of the RDE Specification.
- Registrars wishing to change their DEA should follow the Registrar Data Escrow Agent Change process.
- Escrow agents that wish to apply for approval as a Registrar DEA should review ICANN's Registrar DEA Approval Criteria and submit a completed Registrar DEA Application to [email protected].
