With the implementation of the EU NIS2 cybersecurity directive in Denmark, registrars are now required to verify domain registrants’ identities and contact information following agreed procedures. To support compliance, Punktum dk has developed a dedicated solution that allows registrars to either perform these verification checks themselves or delegate them to Punktum dk. The solution ensures all procedures and documentation meet NIS2 requirements, helping registrars maintain compliance while protecting registrant data.
The complete NIS2 verification solution be made available in our sandbox (Registrar Portal and EPP only) and production environments on Wednesday, January 14, 2026
Affected Services • EPP Version 5.2.0 • Registrar Portal Version 4.4.0 • Self-Service Portal Version 6.4.0
Expected Impact • No downtime is expected during this maintenance window.
Changes Included (EPP) • DKHM 4.5 XML Schema Definition (XSD) incorporating new data elements for enhanced functionality. These changes include two new extensions: - dkhm:sole_proprietorship A simple type containing information if the contact is a sole proprietorship company and therefore needs to have contact email hidden from public available WHOIS information. - dkhm:contact_verification A complex type containing information regarding the contact verification process and status, including who is responsible for performing the verification process (registrar/registry), which type and verification process (identity/e-mail) and status of the verification process. DKHM 4.4 is still supported with this release. • Additional poll messages primarily regarding verification flows delegated to Punktum dk.
Changes Included (Registrar Portal) • Selection of preferred verification model (registrar/registry) on the registrar account • Addition of verification elements in the web based contact and domain creation and display flows
Changes Included (Self-Service Portal) • Upgraded and modified flows for registry delegated contact verification
