TXT Record Lookup.
How does TXT Record Lookup work?
Enter a domain name (e.g., example.com) and click “Check”. Our tool queries DNS for TXT records and returns the values it finds—along with TTL (time-to-live)—so you can validate changes and troubleshoot caching.
What is a TXT record?
A TXT record stores plain text values in DNS. It’s commonly used to verify domain ownership, configure email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and connect third-party services without changing where your website is hosted.
When should you check a TXT record?
- When verifying your domain with a service (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, etc.)
- When setting up SPF, DKIM, or DMARC for email security
- When an integration says “verification failed”
- After DNS edits or a nameserver migration
TXT record vs SPF/DKIM/DMARC (quick clarification)
TXT: The record type that stores text values
SPF/DKIM/DMARC: Common email security policies often published as TXT records

What is a TXT record used for?
TXT records store text values in DNS—most commonly for domain verification and email authentication (like SPF/DKIM/DMARC).
How do I find the TXT records for my domain?
Type your domain above and click Check. We’ll retrieve the TXT records currently published in DNS for that domain.
Why can’t I see the TXT record I just added?
Most issues come down to DNS caching/TTL, adding the record in the wrong DNS provider (not the active nameservers), or placing it on the wrong hostname.
Should the TXT record be added to “@”, “www”, or a subdomain?
It depends on what you’re verifying. Many services require the TXT record at the root domain (
@), while others require a specific hostname like_acme-challengeor a subdomain.Can I have multiple TXT records on the same domain?
Yes—domains often publish multiple TXT records for different tools and policies (verification strings, email auth, etc.).
Why is my TXT record split into multiple quoted parts?
TXT values are stored as one or more strings, and each string is limited in length—so longer values (like some DKIM keys) are often split and should be read as one combined value.
How do I check an “_acme-challenge” TXT record for SSL validation?
Run a TXT lookup for the full hostname (for example,
_acme-challenge.example.com). If it’s missing or outdated, certificate validation can fail.
