.am WHOIS Lookup: Armenian Domain Name Records
.am was delegated to the root zone on 26 August 1994 as Armenia's country code. IANA lists the Armenian "Internet Society" Non-governmental Organization as its registry, and WHOIS queries go to whois.amnic.net. No RDAP endpoint exists for .am, so WHOIS on port 43 carries all of its registration data. Its zone is DNSSEC-signed.
The reply sorts its data into indented blocks with plain headings: registrar, status, registrant, administrative and technical contacts, DNS servers and three dates. Of these, the whois.com.tr result screen shows the domain name, the registration, last-modified and expiry dates, the registrar, the name servers and the status. For neighbouring registries, open the .ru WHOIS lookup or the .kz WHOIS lookup.

WHOIS FAQ
Does a .am WHOIS lookup show who owns the domain?
Yes, the .am registry publishes the registrant's name and postal address in its WHOIS reply. The administrative and technical contacts come with an email address and phone numbers, so you can reach the people behind a domain without going through the registrar. The whois.com.tr result screen does not list the registrant for .am, so read that block in the Full WHOIS output tab.
What does registrar locked mean on a .am domain?
Registrar locked means the registrar that manages the .am domain has locked it against unauthorised transfer or changes, and only that registrar can lift the lock. A status of active, registrar locked describes a name that is in service and protected at the same time. If you plan to move a .am domain to another registrar, ask the current one to remove the lock first.
Why does the .am status line not use EPP codes?
The .am registry writes status in its own plain phrases because ICANN's EPP status codes are binding only on generic extensions. Country code registries choose their own vocabulary, and the Armenian one separates readable words with commas. A tool that recognises only EPP codes may therefore misread a .am status line or leave it blank.
How do I check when a .am domain expires?
The expiry date of a .am domain sits on the Expires line of its WHOIS record, written as year, month and day without a time. The whois.com.tr result screen shows it together with the registration date and the last-modified date. A holder who sees the date approaching can renew through the registrar named on the Registrar line.
Does a new Last modified date mean a .am domain changed owner?
A new Last modified date does not on its own mean that a .am domain changed hands. The date moves forward whenever the record is edited, and a name server update or an added lock counts as an edit too. To see whether the holder changed, compare the Registrant block with the result of an earlier lookup.
How does an unregistered .am name appear in a WHOIS lookup?
An unregistered .am name comes back from whois.amnic.net without registrant, contact or date lines. In that case whois.com.tr labels the name as available, a verdict that holds up for .am. You can then register it through any registrar that sells .am domains, with no waiting period.
