Invalid Contacts in the APNIC Whois Database

APNIC requires that organizations register valid contact details in the APNIC Whois Database, but we are not automatically notified if those details later cease to be valid.

If you do find invalid contact details in the whois database, you can submit details of the invalid contact using the invalid contact report form or send an email to the APNIC Helpdesk clearly stating the IP address and the incorrect contacts.

Report invalid contacts

The invalid contact form is used to report invalid contact details found in the APNIC Whois Database. APNIC will take appropriate steps to have the database objects updated. We regret that we are unable to report back to you on the progress of those efforts.
