.xxx domain registration phases
Member ID for .xxx
For .xxx domains to resolve you are required to be a verified Member. The .xxx registry will email you at your Registrant Contact email address, directing you to the ICM Membership Application. Fill out the ICM Membership Application free of charge. This only has to be done once per email account, not per domain.
The registry will validate Address and Phone Number details and will call the number provided on the Membership Application. During the phone call, a PIN will be provided which you will need to input in the designated Membership Application area.
Once Membership Application is completed, we will receive a Membership Token from the .xxx registry allowing all of the .xxx domain names associated with your email account to resolve.
