How do I enable or disable privacy for a .UK domain?

Due to .UK requirements and limitations, changes must be made by our domain support staff.

If you wish to make changes to your .UK domain privacy settings, please contact support.

It make take up to 48 hours for it to be accomplished. Please note, that only new whois queries would reflect the change in privacy. Some companies and whois sources will cache the information, which we have no control over.

Please make certain your domain whois/contact information is correct and up to date. You can do this in the Domain Manager on the Contact tab for the domain. If it's missing any information we cannot turn on privacy. So all information must be complete so that we can update the whois to have privacy.

There is no cost to .UK domain privacy.
