Friends, I may buy a domain soon, but while registering domain, I don't want to give my true information i.e. true name, true address. And I wonder if it's possible to register with fake name and address. If I do so, will I face any problem in the future? In the first place, shall I need to submit my documents or photo id proofs to register domains?
Yes you can give fake details but better book a domain wit private option if you wont want to disclose it .Quote:

You need to fill address form while registering, because you can't buy the domain if you're not registering first.Quote:

As satyakam said you can hide your details but it will cost extra what i know but if you dont want to do that then you can go for fake details no problem in it.
That's what I wanted. That means instead of paying extra money to hide real details, we can simply put fake details which cost nothing at all. But I wonder if it's against the rule of domain registration or something.Quote:

When you register, you do not need to put any real name and address at all. Even on the WHOIS database for a domain, those admistrativie and technical contact can also changes to other name which didn't match with your registration contact too.Quote:

@eddielkk,
May I know how to change those registration details in whois databse? Can we change?
When you bougth the domain, you can access to your domain registration and whois record to changes the details by the password given by your domain registrar company. Some Domain registrar company, don't allow user to login and changes for their, but mostly is allowable. You can check with the registrar company that you going to buy with.Quote:

Please check again. I would like to know what domain registrar you use, so I can check it.
Friend, but I think the private option is something else, not to hide your whois data. I have seen this private option in all registrars and it's free, but it does not hide your whois details if I'm not wrong. I'm sure it will cost us around $7 to $10.Quote:

ya of course you can give fake details while registering.But many domains like .us require more advanced details but adding fake details is no problem at all.If you searched on net then almost all ptc,hyip and many forums owner have false info on their profile.Quote:

Providing fake name and address is not the question here, but what is your real motive behind that? all wrong things you do will definitely go wrong for you in some point of time for sure
domain privacy registration puts the company address instead of ours.. then who is the actual owner of the domain the company or us???
