.me WHOIS Lookup: Contact Blocks and Record Fields
.me has been the country code extension of Montenegro since 24 September 2007, and the Government of Montenegro is responsible for it. whois.nic.me answers lookups in the layout of generic extensions such as .com, with 54 labelled fields. Besides the dates and name servers, the reply carries the registrar's IANA number, an abuse email and phone number, and status codes that link to ICANN's EPP glossary.
Three contact blocks follow, each closed to a different degree. In the registrant block the organisation, state and country remain readable, while the person's name, street, phone and email read REDACTED. The admin and tech blocks are REDACTED line by line, organisation included. Registration dates, name servers and status codes are never withheld. The .io WHOIS lookup covers another country code whose registry uses the same generic layout.

WHOIS FAQ
Can I find out who owns a .me domain?
You can when the domain belongs to a company, because its name stays in the Registrant Organization line of the .me record. For a private holder no line identifies the person, as data protection rules shield individuals more strictly than businesses. To reach the holder of such a name, write to the registrar named in the reply, which is the only contact route the record leaves open.
How do I check when a .me domain was registered and when it expires?
A .me reply carries three UTC timestamps accurate to the second, named Creation Date, Updated Date and Registry Expiry Date. google.me, for example, was first registered in 2008. On whois.com.tr the result screen turns these values into the domain's age and its remaining term, and the remaining-term indicator changes colour as renewal gets close.
Where do I report abuse or false data on a .me domain?
Abuse on a .me site, such as phishing or spam, is reported to the registrar through the abuse email and phone number printed in every reply. The admin and tech contacts are of no use for this, since all of their lines are REDACTED. If the registration data itself looks false, the reply also links to ICANN's form for complaints about inaccurate WHOIS data.
Is there an RDAP service for .me domains?
No, IANA's RDAP bootstrap file has no entry for .me, so registration data is served only by WHOIS on port 43. RDAP replaced WHOIS as the authoritative source for generic extensions on 28 January 2025, and country codes such as .me were not part of that switch. For a generic extension that does publish RDAP data, open the .biz WHOIS lookup.
Are .me domains protected by DNSSEC?
The .me zone is signed and has a DS record in the root, yet a domain under it is signed only if its holder turns DNSSEC on. The DNSSEC line in a .me reply shows the state of the name you looked up as signed or unsigned. To sign your own .me domain, enable the option through your registrar.
What does a .me WHOIS lookup return for an unregistered name?
For a .me name that nobody holds, whois.nic.me reports that no match was found and returns no dates, registrar or name servers. The whois.com.tr result screen then shows the name as available to register. If the reply lists a registrar and an expiry date instead, the name is taken, and that date tells you how long the current registration runs.
