The changes entail that the lookup service for registrars and the EPP service display less data for customers for whom you are not the registrar. The registrar-specific WHOIS service (registrarwhois.norid.no) is replaced by the RDAP service.
We have added an extension to the RDAP-service which makes it possible to look up the number of domain names registered on a subscriber.

We are experiencing problems with the import of new data from Enhetsregisteret (The Brønnøysund Register Centre). This means that the registration system will not be updated with new data from Enhetsregisteret until the problem is corrected.
The registrar agreement allows registrars to use data from Norid's systems, but only to serve own customers.
