TXT Record Lookup Tool

A TXT record stores arbitrary text data in DNS. It is the most versatile record type: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain-ownership verification for services like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook — all of these live inside TXT records. Use the form below to fetch all TXT records currently published for a domain.

What lives inside TXT records

• SPF policies (v=spf1 …) — which servers are allowed to send mail for the domain.
• DKIM public keys, published at selector subdomains like default._domainkey.example.com.
• DMARC policies, published at _dmarc.example.com.
• Ownership verification tokens that third-party services ask you to publish to prove you control the domain.
• BIMI records, MTA-STS references, and other newer email security signals.

Common TXT record checks

Developers use TXT lookups constantly during setup: adding a domain to a SaaS product, standing up email for a new company, or hardening an existing domain against spoofing. If a service tells you “we could not verify your domain,” a TXT lookup is the fastest way to see what your DNS is actually publishing versus what the service expects.

Reading the result

Each TXT record is a string (sometimes split into 255-character chunks by DNS itself, then rejoined by the resolver). A domain can publish many TXT records simultaneously — DNSFetch returns all of them so you can spot conflicts, duplicates, or missing entries at a glance.
