.kz WHOIS Lookup: KazNIC Records and Their Fields
Kazakhstan's .kz was delegated on 19 September 1994. IANA records the Association of IT Companies of Kazakhstan as its manager, while KazNIC runs registrations and the WHOIS server whois.nic.kz. Because no RDAP address is on file for .kz, port 43 is the only route to its registration data. DNSSEC is in place for the zone.
A .kz record is split into headed blocks. The first names the organisation behind the domain, the second gives an administrative contact, and the name servers follow in their listed order with IP addresses. The record closes with the creation date, the last-modified date, the status and the registrar, and an expiry date never appears. For other registries in the region, see the .ru WHOIS lookup and the .am WHOIS lookup.

WHOIS FAQ
Does a .kz WHOIS lookup show who owns the domain?
Yes, a .kz WHOIS lookup shows the organisation that uses the domain, with its street address, city, postal code and country. The administrative contact block adds a named person with a phone number and an email address, so you can write to someone directly. KazNIC applies no privacy masking to either block. The whois.com.tr result screen lists the registrant and the registrar for .kz.
How can I find out when a .kz domain expires?
You cannot find a .kz expiry date through WHOIS, because KazNIC leaves that field out of the record. The reply tells you when the domain was created and last modified, and says nothing about the end of its term. For the renewal date, ask the registrar named in the record or the holder, whose contact details are public.
What does ok - Normal state mean in a .kz record?
The status ok - Normal state. means the .kz domain is registered and in its normal state. KazNIC writes the short code first and repeats its meaning in plain words after the hyphen, so you can read the line without a list of status codes. Software that expects a bare code has to cut the line at the hyphen.
Where can I see when a .kz domain was registered?
The Domain created line shows when a .kz domain was registered, down to the second, and ends with (GMT+0:00), so the time is UTC. Last modified uses the same format. The whois.com.tr result screen does not show these two dates for .kz, so open the Full WHOIS output tab of the result to read them.
Why do .kz WHOIS labels end in a row of dots?
The dots in labels such as Domain Name............ are padding that lines every value up in one column, and they are no part of the label itself. If you copy .kz WHOIS data into a spreadsheet or a script, strip the dots first. Labels that keep their padding will not match the field names used in other WHOIS replies.
How does an unregistered .kz name look in a WHOIS lookup?
An unregistered .kz name gets a reply from whois.nic.kz without any organisation, contact or date blocks. whois.com.tr reports such a name as free, and the availability result for .kz can be trusted. You can then order the name from a registrar that offers .kz domains.
