Buy a domain without KYC

What does BuyDomainsCrypto never ask for?

We never ask for identity documents, whatever you buy and however much you spend. That means no:

• passport, ID card or driving licence;
• selfie or video check;
• proof of address or company documents;
• phone number check by SMS or call;
• card or bank account, since payment is in crypto only.

There is no verified tier and no spending limit that triggers a check later. Support never asks for secrets either: We never ask for your password, your account number or your domain transfer (EPP) codes by email or chat.

What does ICANN still require when you buy a domain?

A verified email, and nothing else. ICANN rules apply to every registrar, with or without KYC, and to every gTLD such as .com, .net and .org.

• Email verification. Under the Whois Accuracy Program of the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement, the registrant email or phone must be verified within 15 days of a registration, a transfer or a change. Without an answer, the registrar must verify manually or suspend the domain. At BuyDomainsCrypto, the registrant email is verified after registration, as ICANN rules require (within 15 days).
• A real email. We collect one email per domain, nothing else. A fake or dead email gets the domain suspended.
• Private by default. Since 21 August 2025, ICANN's Registration Data Policy keeps personal data out of public lookups by default.

Privacy is legal, and we make it the default: one email, nothing else.

Which domain registries check identity?

A few registries run their own identity checks, whatever the registrar. BuyDomainsCrypto does not sell these extensions:

Which extensions does BuyDomainsCrypto refuse to sell?

Some registries require more than an email: an ID or tax number, residency, a local link, or the holder's name and address in their own records. Our rule is one email per domain, nothing else. Where our company can be the holder, we sell the extension registered in our name only; where it cannot (residency, nexus, ID number), we do not sell it. Each one has a page that explains the registry's rule.

Which registrars ask for ID?

Some well-known registrars that accept crypto do ask for an ID in some cases. The table shows what each one says on its own pages, as of 8 October 2026. Where a page could not be opened, we say so.

Is a no-KYC domain legal, and what is not allowed?

Yes. ICANN rules ask registrars for a verified email, not for an ID, and privacy is a legitimate need. No KYC is about privacy and speed, not about hiding abuse. Our official policy:

• No takedown on a complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court (foreign judgments must first be recognised in Panama).
• Your data only goes out on a Panamanian court order. Not to a foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government without Panamanian legal process. The only exception: urgent requests that ICANN rules require registrars to answer (imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, child exploitation).
• Strict exceptions. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims (fake shops, investment and crypto scams, wallet drainers, impersonation of a bank or brand): suspension within 24 hours of a well-documented report. Child sexual abuse material: suspension immediately, with a report to the competent hotline or authority.
• Trademark disputes follow the UDRP, as ICANN requires: the domain is locked within 2 business days of a request from a UDRP provider, the registrant details are confirmed to the dispute provider, and the panel's decision is applied.

What happens to registrars that ignore real abuse? Trustname marketed itself as a safe place for "sensitive niches". ICANN sent it breach notices, then terminated its accreditation in 2026. One reason given: it acted weeks after phishing reports. We act fast on the four exceptions, and we say so.
