# `expiring_domain`: the domain's registration ends within 30 days

RDAP puts the registration's end inside the next 30 days — a domain that may be about to lapse.

- Weight: +10
- Dataset: rdap-registration
- Read from: `domain_expires_at`
- Verdict reasons it comes with: none — a score-only signal

It is read from the same RDAP record as the registration date, for business domains only. A date already past never fires, because a resolving domain has not lapsed, and many registrars renew at the last moment, which is why the weight is small.

It reads from domain_expires_at and comes with no verdict reason.

**What to do.** Nothing on its own; beside a young registration it is the one-year throwaway pattern.
