Why am I receiving a verification email from ICANN?
ICANN is a non-profit organization that oversees most domain extensions. This primarily includes domain extensions that are not tied to a specific country or region, such as .com, .net, .org, .info, .shop, .online, etc.
As part of their oversight, they verify the information (like the email address) of the person registering a domain name. Therefore, after registering your domain name, you may receive an email from ICANN asking you to validate your email address. This ensures that you are using a valid and verified email address.
It is very important to validate your email address if you receive such an email from ICANN. You can do this by clicking the link in the email within 14 days.
When might I receive a verification email?
You may receive a verification email from ICANN at various points. A new verification email will be sent in the following situations:
Registration (or transfer) of an ICANN domain name using an email address that has not been previously verified.
When updating the owner’s details. If you provide a new email address that has not been validated, ICANN will send you an email for verification.
What happens if I don’t confirm my email address?
If you fail to confirm the verification of your email address within 14 days, all domain names registered with that email address will be temporarily suspended by ICANN. As a result, your domain name and any related email traffic using those domains will stop functioning.
Is your domain name no longer working?
You can resolve this issue by clicking the verification link in the email from ICANN.

Dear domain name owner,
*Your action is required to prevent domain suspension*
This verification e-mail is triggered because your e-mail address is used in the owner contact of a domain registration and this e-mail address was not verified before or we have received information that this e-mail address might not be in use anymore.
The domain name registration policy of ICANN requires that a valid and working e-mail address is provided with each domain registration.
To verify this requirement, we kindly request you to confirm the accuracy of your e-mail address by clicking the link below:

If you do not confirm the validity of your e-mail address by DATE, domain name(s) associated with this e-mail address may be suspended and can only be re-activated once the verification is completed.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
