: Domain registrar went to jail, can't access nameservers So long story short, my mother's 70 year old friend does crafts for a living. Had this guy doing updates for years and suddenly, he's
So long story short, my mother's 70 year old friend does crafts for a living. Had this guy doing updates for years and suddenly, he's in jail, no access possible and my mom asks me to see what I can do about getting things accessible for her friend.
I have my own reseller account and am familiar with other issues but I was wondering if anyone here had a similar type of problem and what procedure there is to take control of the domain from the current registrar.
Thankfully, her name and address as well as telephone number are in the registration info so she can prove she is the person the domain was registered for.
Any thoughts?

Generally the address that you see in the whois information is not used to prove rightful ownership, since the owner of the domain is not required to use their own address, but rather a real address that they can be contacted through, which at the time they would of been.
Many businesses owners for example use their accountants addresses, that doesn't make the accountants rightful owners. Most good registrars will not use the whois information and use a combination of factors to determine the rightful owner, these are:
User account created at the Registrar.
Billing Address and Details.
Email address attached to the domain when registering it.
