Viewing the status of a domain registration
ICANN, the organization that maintains a central database of domain names, has developed a set of domain name status codes
(also known as EPP status codes) that tell you the status of a variety of operations, for example, registering a domain name,
transferring a domain name to another registrar, renewing the registration for a domain name, and so on. All registrars
use this same set of status codes.
To view the status code for your domains, perform the following procedure.
We're updating the domains console for Route 53. During the transition period, you can continue
to use the old console.
Choose the tab for the console that you are using.

To view the ICANN status code of a domain
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at
https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/.
In the navigation pane, expand Domains and choose Registered Domains.
Select the linked name of your domain.
If you need to take an action, such as resending the verification email to the registrant
contact, a banner on top of the page will indicate the action
you need to take.
For the current status of your domain, see the value of the Domain status
code field.
For a current list of domain name status codes and an explanation of what each code means, go to the
ICANN website and search for epp status codes.
