DNS-05 / DNS RECORDS
TXT Record Lookup
View every TXT record published for a domain — SPF, verification codes, and more.
About the TXT Lookup
TXT records hold arbitrary text in DNS and are used for everything from SPF and DKIM to domain verification for Google, Microsoft, and countless other services. This tool lists every TXT record published for a domain.
What this tool checks
It retrieves all TXT records for your domain and displays each one in full, so you can audit SPF policies, verification tokens, and any other text records at a glance.
What you'll find
Typical TXT records include your SPF policy (v=spf1...), domain-verification strings from various providers, and sometimes DMARC or site-verification tokens. Reviewing them together helps spot duplicates or stale entries.
Frequently asked questions
What are TXT records used for?
TXT records store text data in DNS. Their most common uses are email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and proving domain ownership to services like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
How many TXT records can a domain have?
A domain can have many TXT records, but only one SPF record specifically. Verification tokens and other TXT entries can coexist freely alongside it.
Is there a size limit on TXT records?
A single TXT string is capped at 255 characters, but records can be split into multiple strings that are concatenated. Long DKIM keys are often split this way.
