WHOIS Lookup — Check Domain Ownership & Download WHOIS Information as PDF

Run a free WHOIS lookup for any domain and download the full WHOIS record as a PDF — registrar, registration and expiry dates, name servers and registrant details, captured exactly as the official lookup page shows them, with the date stamped on the file name. Type a domain like example.com or example.com.np, choose Whois.com or GoDaddy as the source, and get a clean, printable A4 or Letter PDF in seconds — no sign-up, no watermark.

In Nepal, a saved copy of WHOIS information is more than a curiosity. Online news portals and media houses are asked for proof of domain registration and ownership when registering with authorities such as the Department of Information and Broadcasting and when listing with Press Council Nepal — and a dated WHOIS PDF is the simplest way to attach that proof to an application file. The same document is useful for banks, tender submissions, trademark and cybercrime complaints, and any office that wants evidence of who owns a website.

How to download WHOIS information as PDF

1. Type the domain name — with or without www or https://; the tool cleans it up and validates it for you.
2. Pick the WHOIS source: Whois.com (default, works for most extensions including many country domains) or GoDaddy's WHOIS lookup.
3. Choose a paper size — One long page (default) keeps the whole record on a single unbroken PDF page, or pick A4 / US Letter for printing.
4. Press Lookup. The live WHOIS page is rendered in a real cloud browser and converted to PDF right on your device — preview the record on screen, then press Download PDF.

Why news portals in Nepal need a WHOIS PDF

To register an online news portal in Nepal, the application file typically needs to show that the news domain is registered in the name of the applying person or company. Screenshots are easy to dispute; a WHOIS PDF captured from a recognised lookup service shows the registrar, the registrant organisation, and the creation and expiry dates on one dated document. Media houses also keep an annual WHOIS PDF on file so renewal deadlines and ownership records are documented over time — useful when a domain was registered by a former employee or an agency and the portal needs to prove continuity.

What WHOIS information does the PDF contain?

Whatever the lookup service publishes for that domain, typically: registrar (the company the domain was bought from), registration / creation date, expiry date, last updated date, domain status codes (e.g. clientTransferProhibited), name servers, and — where not hidden by privacy protection — the registrant's name, organisation and country. For many .com/.net/.org domains the contact details are redacted under privacy rules, but the registrar, dates and name servers always remain visible, and those are what offices usually need.

Does it work for .np and .com.np domains?

Yes — enter your .com.np, .org.np or .edu.np domain the same way. The .np registry is operated by Mercantile Communications (register.com.np) and public WHOIS data for .np domains can be more limited than for .com domains; if the record you get looks thin, try the other source, or keep your official .np registration email/certificate alongside the WHOIS PDF in your file. For international extensions (.com, .net, .org, .info, .news and hundreds more) both sources return full records.

Common uses for a downloaded WHOIS record

Media registration: attach domain ownership proof to an online media registration or Press Council listing file. Cybercrime complaints: when reporting a fake or copycat website to the Nepal Police Cyber Bureau, a dated WHOIS PDF of the offending domain documents who registered it and when. Buying or selling a domain: record the state of the domain before and after transfer. Agency handover: confirm your developer or agency actually registered the domain in your name, not theirs. Expiry tracking: a dated PDF makes it easy to prove when a renewal was due. Trademark and legal disputes: preserve the record as it appeared on a specific date, since WHOIS data changes over time.

Private by design

Only the domain you type is sent to the rendering service that opens the public WHOIS page; the captured image comes back to your browser and the PDF is assembled locally on your device with JavaScript. The finished document is never uploaded to or stored on our server — just like the rest of our PDF tools.

Works together with our other tools

Need the whole website saved, not just its WHOIS record? Use the Website to PDF converter or the Website Screenshot Generator. Check how the domain's pages preview on Facebook and Google with the Sharing Debugger, or merge the WHOIS PDF with other documents using Merge PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this WHOIS lookup free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit for normal use. The record comes from free public WHOIS services with fair-use rate limits.

Is the downloaded PDF an official document?

It is an exact, dated capture of the public WHOIS record as published by Whois.com or GoDaddy — the same information any office would see by looking the domain up themselves. It is widely accepted as supporting evidence of domain ownership, but it is not a registrar-issued certificate; for a formal certificate contact your registrar (for .np domains, register.com.np).

Why does the record say "REDACTED FOR PRIVACY"?

Many registrars hide the registrant's personal contact details under privacy rules (GDPR / WHOIS privacy services). The registrar, creation date, expiry date, status and name servers are still shown — and for ownership proof, a record in your organisation's name or your registrar invoice together with the WHOIS PDF is usually sufficient.

Whois.com or GoDaddy — which source should I choose?

Whois.com is the default and presents the raw record clearly for most extensions, including many country-code domains. GoDaddy's lookup is a familiar name that some offices recognise instantly. The information is the same public data — if one source is busy or shows a thin record, simply switch to the other.

Can I look up who owns a .com.np domain?

Yes — type the full domain (e.g. mysite.com.np). Note that the .np registry publishes more limited public data than global registries, so some .np records show fewer fields.

Is my search or the PDF stored anywhere?

No. The PDF is generated inside your own browser and saved straight to your device. Our server never sees or stores the file, and we keep no log of the domains you look up.
