How long does it take for Whois to update?

Hello, how long does it take for Whois to update because when I fill out my personal details I made a small error, I put the whole name of my state instead of prefix.... so instead of WA it's now WE (western australia).

Hopefully it does update!?

probably 24hours - 72

Yes. Whois isn't instant and it takes different amounts of time from site to site. Where you registered your domain should update soon, though.

Lol, I was updating the wrong information, it was instant when I found the right spot.

Good to see you got that resolved.

Well...I have seen the WhoIs to get updated within 10 seconds.

But some times it takes even 2 days.

Mostly it takes 24-72 hours same like domain registration process.

The whois information
updates on the second,
but your DNS servers are not the same
like in whois !
