Deactivating Domain Privacy

[awilson3rd]

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can turn domain privacy off from the new layout in the domain manager? I have never used domain privacy when registering a domain but now it seems godaddy is forcing this option (?) because there is no way to toggle it to 'off' in the domain manager page.

Thanks

This help article is still valid. I tested it out. You can cancel it by following the instructions.

Hello and thanks for the reply. 

Unfortunately I still cannot see a way to turn the domain privacy off. I have gone through the link you suggested and I see contact information for the domain but there is no option anywhere on the page to turn it off. 

Thanks - Andrew

Hi @awilson3rd,

Welcome to the Community,

If you're having trouble removing the privacy from the domain, you may actually have Protected Registration - the next level of protection. If that's the case, you'll need to remove this feature first. (More about Protected Registration here.)

Adding some info as I had the same question and phoned support:

If your contact details are within a european country, they automatically get 'Basic Privacy' in the 'Domain Manager' due to GDPR.  This non-paid version is by law so you do not get the 'Remove privacy' option, and it does not block domain transfers.
