    TXT Record Lookup

    Check SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and other TXT records for any domain.

    What is a TXT record?

    A TXT record stores arbitrary text in DNS. In practice it's mostly used for three things: SPF (authorizing which servers can send email as your domain), DKIM (cryptographic email signing), and DMARC (policy for how receivers should handle unauthenticated email). All three are email-authentication records — critical for making sure your emails land in the inbox and not spam.

    TXT records are also used for domain-ownership verification by services like Google Search Console, Microsoft 365, Facebook Business, and many others. If you run business email, pairing well-configured TXT records with proper MX records and reliable email hosting is the baseline for good deliverability.

    Common uses

    • Verify SPF record syntax (v=spf1 ...)
    • Check DMARC policy (_dmarc.yourdomain.com)
    • Confirm DKIM key is published (selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com)
    • Verify ownership-proof records for Google/Microsoft/Facebook

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a TXT record used for?
    TXT records store free-form text in DNS. The most common uses are SPF (email sender authorization), DKIM (email signing), DMARC (email policy), and domain-ownership verification for third-party services.
    How do I check my SPF record?
    Enter your domain into our TXT record lookup tool above. SPF appears as a TXT record starting with v=spf1.
    Where is my DMARC record?
    DMARC is published as a TXT record on the subdomain _dmarc.yourdomain.com — enter that exact subdomain into our tool to see it.
    Can I have multiple TXT records?
    Yes — a domain can have many TXT records. SPF, DKIM selectors, DMARC and verification records all coexist. The only limit: you should have exactly ONE SPF record (multiple SPF records break SPF).
    What's the maximum length of a TXT record?
    Technically 255 characters per string, but a single record can be split across multiple strings. Most DNS providers handle this automatically — paste your long TXT value and they'll chunk it.
    Why doesn't my new TXT record show up?
    Give it 5-15 minutes to propagate, then re-query. Check with our DNS propagation checker to see which public resolvers have picked it up.
    Who manages SPF/DKIM/DMARC for me?
    If you use Netspace India hosted email, we configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC automatically for your domain. Same if you're on Google Workspace via Netspace — we walk you through it.
