TXT Record Lookup Tool

Check TXT records instantly across multiple global resolvers to validate your domain's text strings.

How to troubleshoot DNS text strings with a TXT Lookup

TXT records are heavily used to verify domain ownership and enforce email security. Enter your domain name above to instantly query its active TXT records. This tool helps you quickly spot missing SPF records, broken DMARC policies, or unverified third-party services.

Interpreting your TXT results

  • Multiple Records: It is completely normal for a domain to have multiple TXT records (e.g., one for Google site verification, one for SPF, and one for a marketing tool). They will all be returned in the lookup.
  • Broken SPF Records: If you see multiple TXT records starting with v=spf1, your email delivery will fail. A domain must only have one SPF record. If you need to authorize multiple services, you must merge them into a single string.
  • Missing DMARC or DKIM: Remember that DMARC is not published on your root domain, but on _dmarc.yourdomain.com. Similarly, DKIM uses selectors (e.g., selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com). Query those specific hostnames to find their TXT records.
