# OwnerC validation notifications (OCVAL)

If an OwnerC domain contact was not verified and the associated domain was therefore set to HOLD status, the domain can be "reactivated" by subsequent verification. The status will then be set to ACTIVE.

The notifications generated in the context of domain owner validation (OCVAL) are described here.

## ocval\_reminder

### Description

Reminder to verify the domain owner 5 days before the end of the period within which the OwnerC must be verified.

**Notification trigger**

Sent if the domain contact is not verified in the first 10 days after a domain registration.

**Recipient of the notification**

The recipient of the notification is the AutoDNS user who currently holds the domain contact.
