# Registrant VS Registrant Contact

When you register a domain name, two roles are usually recorded:

### Registrant (Entity)

* The entity that the domain name is registered to
* Can be an individual, business, or organization
  **IMPORTANT**: As there is different eligibility requirements based on your TLD, please be advised of the criteria that must be met below;
  * com.au/net.au - the registrant must have an Australian presence and be a commercial entity.
  * org.au - the registrant must be a not-for-profit organisation.
  * asn.au - the registrant must have an Australian presence and be a not-for-profit entity or unincorporated association.
  * id.au - the registrant must have an Australian presence and be a natural person – that means an individual person, **not** a company or organisation
  * .au - The registrant must have a verifiable Australian presence, which includes being a citizen or permanent resident or an organisation registered in Australia.
* Responsible for the domain’s lifecycle, including fees, renewals, and eligibility details

### Registrant Contact

* The person or team appointed by the registrant to manage registration details
* Serves as the point of communication with the registrar
* Updates technical and administrative information, such as DNS or contact details

Here is what it looks like in action on a WHOIS lookup of a domain:
