How to use this tool
Displays only TXT records at the entered DNS owner. To inspect a DKIM selector or DMARC policy, enter its full DNS owner or use the dedicated tool.
Enter the target, complete any relevant options and choose Check. Review the requested records, query outcomes and diagnostic findings. Copy Report saves the visible report.
Reading the results
No matching records and an unavailable query are different outcomes. TTLs are displayed in seconds; zero is a valid TTL. A completed request does not mean a domain passed its health checks. Only the submitted DNS owner and explicitly listed checks are inspected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my new TXT record missing?
The record may still be cached, may exist under a different hostname, or may not have been saved by the DNS provider. Check the exact host label and allow its previous TTL to expire.
Why are quotation marks visible in a TXT value?
DNS responses can represent text as quoted character strings. The quotation marks are formatting around the returned data and are not necessarily part of the policy itself.
Can a domain have more than one TXT record?
Yes. A domain can publish separate TXT entries for email policy, ownership checks, and other services. The tool lists each answer in its own row.
Does this lookup validate an SPF or DKIM policy?
No. It displays the published TXT data but does not evaluate policy syntax or delivery behavior. Use the matching record checker for validation.
Why does the TXT value appear in several quoted parts?
Long TXT data can be stored as multiple character strings inside one DNS record. The resolver response may preserve those individual segments.
Should I query the root domain or a subdomain?
Query the exact owner name provided by the service. Some records live at the root, while DKIM selectors and verification records often use a specific hostname.
