.agency WHOIS Lookup: Records in an Agency Extension
.agency entered the root zone on 9 January 2014. The IANA database lists Binky Moon, LLC as its registry and identity.digital as the registry website. No WHOIS server is listed for the extension, and port 43 returns no registration data. Every .agency lookup is answered over RDAP by the endpoint at rdap.identitydigital.services, the service that also holds the records of several sibling extensions.
The registry's own domain, nic.agency, shows what a .agency record holds. Its RDAP reply lists five dated events: registration on 26 November 2013, a transfer on 9 April 2014, the expiry date, the last change to the record and the last refresh of the RDAP database. The .tools WHOIS lookup covers a sibling whose registry name was transferred on that same April day, and the .show WHOIS lookup covers one whose record has no transfer event.

WHOIS FAQ
What does the transfer date in a .agency record mean?
The transfer date marks the day a .agency name moved from one registrar to another. It records a change of the company managing the domain and proves nothing about the owner. A holder can switch registrars and keep the name, and a sale between two customers of the same registrar creates no transfer event at all. Such a sale only moves the last-changed date forward, since the record keeps no event for a change of owner.
Why does .agency have no WHOIS server on port 43?
.agency has no port 43 server because generic extensions are no longer required to run one. Since 28 January 2025, RDAP has been the authoritative source of registration data for gTLDs, and the duty to serve that data over the WHOIS protocol ended on the same date. A command-line whois client that only speaks port 43 therefore gets nothing back for .agency. An RDAP query returns the full record.
Which dates does a .agency lookup on whois.com.tr show?
The whois.com.tr result screen shows the creation, last update and expiry dates of a .agency name. Alongside them come the registrar, the name servers, the status codes and the DNSSEC state, eight fields in all. The transfer date is not among the parsed fields. Open the Full WHOIS output tab to read it, since that tab displays the registry's raw RDAP reply with the complete event list.
Can I find out who owns a .agency domain?
No, a .agency RDAP record does not publish the owner's name or contact details. The registrar is the only role in the reply, and no registrant block appears. Since 25 May 2018, registrars in generic extensions have masked the contact data of private individuals, while the registration itself stays visible. To reach the owner, use the contact channel of the registrar named in the result.
Who can remove the status codes on a .agency domain?
The registrar can remove codes that begin with client, while codes that begin with server can only be lifted by the registry. Both prefixes come from ICANN's common EPP status vocabulary, and the prefix tells you who set the lock. On nic.agency, the registry's own name, all three codes carry the server prefix and block deletion, transfer and updates.
Is every .agency domain signed with DNSSEC?
No, a signed .agency zone does not make every .agency domain signed, because each name has its own DNSSEC state. The zone itself is signed, and its DS record is published in the root. The registry's own nic.agency, for example, has an unsigned delegation. The result screen shows the DNSSEC state of the exact name you look up.
