Verifying a correspondence address for a registrant

1. A method, comprising the steps of:

executing, by a server hardware computing device coupled to a network and comprising at least one processor executing specific computer-executable instructions within a memory, at least one database command storing, in association with in a database communicatively coupled to the network:

a user account identifier for a domain name account;

a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or Quick Response (QR) code;

a postal correspondence address; and

a domain name within at least one domain name record;

responsive to the server hardware computing device decoding a trigger, automatically generating, by the server hardware computing device, a postal correspondence to be sent to the postal correspondence address,

the postal correspondence displaying:

the PIN or the QR code; and

a uniform resource locator for accessing a graphical user interface (GUI) including a GUI control for entering the PIN or for receiving a scan of the QR code; and

responsive to receiving a transmission from the GUI encoding a user input of the PIN or the scanned QR code, executing, by the server hardware computing device, a second database command updating the at least one domain name record to include:

a status reflecting a verification of the postal correspondence address; and

a date of the verification.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the postal correspondence comprises a postcard automatically sent in response to the trigger.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the trigger comprises an alert that a tracked correspondence is undeliverable or has been returned or forwarded; and

the postcard is sent in response to the alert.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the trigger comprises an update to a monitored data; and

the postcard is sent in response to the update to the monitored data.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the trigger comprises a regular interval relative to the date of verification; and

the postcard is sent at the end of the regular interval.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the code comprises:

the PIN entered into the user interface to confirm receipt of the postal correspondence; or

the QR code scanned into the GUI to confirm receipt of the postal correspondence.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one domain name record includes:

a WHOIS record;

a DNS record; or

a domain name zone file.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the WHOIS record, the DNS record or the domain name zone file comprise a contact data for a registrar hosting the account.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step, responsive to a determination that the PIN or the QR code has not been received, of updating the at least one domain name record to include a pending status on the verification.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step, responsive to a determination that the PIN or the QR code has not been received, of suspending the domain name account until the PIN or the QR code is received.

11. A system, comprising:

a database coupled to a network and storing, in association:

a user account identifier for a domain name account:

a Personal Identification Number (PIN) or Quick Response (QR) code:

a postal correspondence address: and

a domain name within at least one domain name record:

a server hardware computing device coupled to a network comprising at least one processor executing specific computer-executable instructions within a memory and configured to:

responsive to decoding a trigger, automatically generate a postal correspondence to be sent to the postal correspondence address, the postal correspondence displaying; the PIN or the QR code; and

a uniform resource locator for accessing a graphical user interface (GUI) including a GUI control for entering the PIN or for receiving a scan of the OR code;

and responsive to receiving transmission from the GUI encoding a user input of the PIN or the scanned QR code executing a second database command updating the at least one domain name record to include:

a status reflecting a verification of the postal correspondence address; and a date of the verification.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the postal correspondence comprises a postcard automatically sent in response to the trigger.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein:

the trigger comprises an alert that a tracked correspondence is undeliverable or has been returned or forwarded; and

the postcard is sent in response to the alert.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein:

the trigger comprises an update to a monitored data; and

the postcard is sent in response to the update to the monitored data.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein:

the trigger comprises a regular interval relative to the date of verification; and

the postcard is sent at the end of the regular interval.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the code comprises:

the PIN entered into the GUI to confirm receipt of the postal correspondence; or

the QR code scanned into the GUI to confirm receipt of the postal correspondence.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one domain name record includes:

a WHOIS record;

a DNS record; or

a domain name zone file.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the WHOIS record, the DNS record or the domain name zone file comprise a contact data for a registrar hosting the account.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the server hardware computing device is further configured to: update the at least one domain name record to include a pending status on the verification, responsive to a determination that the PIN or the QR code has not been received.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the server hardware computing device is further configured to: suspend the domain name account until the PIN or the QR code is received, responsive to a determination that the PIN or the QR code has not been received.
