: Domain Authorization Code & Contact Details For a .com gTLD, Who generates the Authorization Code, Registry(Verisign) or relevent registrar(goDaddy)? Is there a provision for us(customer) to generate

@Pierce454

No, there is no provision for us to generate the initial EPP code, however as a customer you can easily change it once the domain has been registered.

I don't have a definitive answer on contact details, but my experience as a domain reseller is that if there is domain privacy, then the registrant never receives official domain emails e.g. transfer approval, and to transfer a domain you need to remove privacy first. To me this implies that the contact details are embedded with the domains at ICANN level.

But do they have the true contact details? It is all a bit of a dark art.
