== WHOIS replacement ==
On January 19, 2023 ICANN opened voting on a global amendment to all its registry and registrar agreements. In it they defined a RDAP Ramp-Up Period of 180 days starting with the effectiveness of this amendment. 360 days after this period is defined as the WHOIS Services Sunset Date, after which it is not a requirement for registries and registrars to offer a WHOIS service and instead only a RDAP service is required. All voting thresholds were met within the 60 -day voting period and the amendment will be submitted to the ICANN Board for approval and implementation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2023 Global Amendments to the Base gTLD Registry Agreement (RA), Specification 13, and 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) - ICANN |url=https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/global-amendment-2023-en |access-date=2023-04-07 |website=www.icann.org |archive-date=2023-04-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230407062429/https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/global-amendment-2023-en |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
== Query example ==
To query RDAP, there are several software and web clients including icann-rdap (reference implementation command-line client by ICANN), OpenRDAP (independent command-line client), and rdap.dev web client.
 
In certain jurisdictions, RDAP redacted contact information as required by regulations such as [[General Data Protection Regulation]] (GDPR). Contact information for RDAP may be accessed with Registration Data Directory Services (RDDS) such as ICANN Lookup.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=ICANN Lookup |url=https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup |access-date=2025-06-04 |website=lookup.icann.org |archive-date=2025-05-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250531085849/https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup |url-status=live }}</ref> Non-public contact information can be requested with Registration Data Request Service (RDRS).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Home - Registration Data Request Service |url=https://rdrs.icann.org/ |access-date=2025-05-31 |website=rdrs.icann.org}}</ref>
