As a part of the Whois Data Accuracy specification, the contact information for the Registrant contact of a domain name, will have to be verified within 15 days of: - A domain name being registered with unverified contact details - A domain name being transferred in - The contact information of the Registrant contact information being modified.
If the domain holder does not verify the contact information within 15 days, the domain name will be suspended until the verification is completed. The Registrant contact of a domain name receives an email notification to verify the email address. This mail will contain a link that the Registrant must click on, to complete the verification, within 15 days.
These specifications are as per ICANN standards and are mandatory for all Registrars to follow as of Jan 2014
