What does the registry publish?
There is no sample record yet that shows which fields this registry publishes.
What happens when a domain expires?
ICANN rules apply to gTLDs: after expiry there is a 0–45 day renewal grace period depending on the registrar, then a 30-day redemption period and a 5-day pending delete period; after that the name is released.
Questions about .mil
›What is the .mil whois server?
IANA lists no port 43 WHOIS server for .mil; registration data is served over RDAP.
›Does .mil support RDAP?
The IANA RDAP list has no endpoint for .mil; lookups use WHOIS (port 43).
›How do I find when a .mil domain expires?
Type the domain in the box above; if the registry publishes the expiry date, the whois card shows it along with the days left.
›Can I see who owns a .mil domain?
That depends on the registry's policy. Redacted fields are marked as such in the lookup result.
